Das FOSTER Toolkit

The presentation was given as part of the networking meeting Research Data Management Reloaded: Open Data and the Future of Research Data Management in the Social Sciences and Humanities that targeted research data management officers of universities, academic libraries and research institutes in German-speaking countries. The meeting involved a review of Open Data requirements and related infrastructures, e.g. in terms of best practice guidelines or data repositories, as well as of resources to assist researchers in processing Open Data, such as the FOSTER Plus Online Toolkit or the CESSDA Data Management Expert Guide.The meeting was part of the FOSTER Plus Project (Facilitate Open Science Training For European Research), funded by the EU (grant numbers 612425 and 741839). It took place on April 24th and 25th, 2019, at GESIS – Leibniz-Institute for the Social Sciences in Cologne, Germany. The course’s language was German. It was supported by CESSDA Training, being a follow-up event of the CESSDA’s Train- the-Trainers workshop in Ljubljana in April 2018. The major focus of this content driven session was on resources to do good research data management as well as to train and consult (young) researchers in doing so. In this context, the FOSTER Plus project and its FOSTER Plus Online Toolkit were introduced by Anja Perry as core sources to learn about research data management. The workshop consisted of several presentations: Introduction “Open Science und FAIR Data” http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3925299 Das FOSTER Toolkit http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3925327 CESSDA Data Management Expert Guide, Forschungsdatenmanagement Training Tool https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3964385 Was bietet das GESIS Datenarchiv an? http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3925380 Gemeinsam statt einsam, Beispiele für ein vernetztes Forschungsdatenmanagement http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3925390 Hessische Forschungsdateninfrastruktur HeFDI- FDM als Landesinitiative http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3925395 Verbund Forschungsdaten Bildung http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3925399 CESSDA ERIC, Ein paneuropäisches Netzwerk sozialwissenschaftlicher Datenarchive http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.392540
