With input of Ellen Leenartsand Rahul Thorat, DANS
1. Building Data Stewardship Expertise in Europe: How canwe fill the gaps? EOSCpilot Skills Session at the EOSCStakeholder Forum in Brussels, 28 Nov 2017
2. The EOSC as a “skills commons” providing FAIR trainingfor FAIR data stewardship, co-located event at EUDATConference "Putting the EOSC vision into practice”,Porto, 25 Jan 2018
3. The EOSC as a “skills commons” for developing researchdata stewardship skills at scale, at IDCC 18 "Beyond FAIR -from principles to practice to global join up”, Barcelona,19 Feb 2018
WP 7 organised three workshops
Methodology of the workshopsThree flash presentations
Real time Online Poll with the attendees (workshop 2 and 3)
Three breakout groups with consultations
Concluding discussion
Goal of the workshopsDiscussion about:
EOSCpilot skills framework and skills gaps
Cataloguing of training materials and services
FAIR criteria for training materials and services
External-internal liaison of the work
D7.4. Report on Training Workshops, November 2018
Results from consultations1. How can EOSC support research training providers to contributeto international level training infrastructure?
Two Tier Approach Catalogue of training resources
Link to other project training & skills WPs
Tier-1 : Core skills and trainingtopics,Tier-2 : Domain specific andspecialised skills and trainingtopics
By playing central coordinating role in harvesting training information;
Extending FAIR principles to training resources;
Performing quality assurance, certification of providers, or badging of content in a central catalogue of training materials and events
EOSChub, OpenAIREAdvance, RDA workgroup results
Results from consultations2. How can EOSC assist research performing organisations todevelop the competences and capabilities for open data science?
Train the Trainer approach Increasing findability (part of FAIR)
Training catalogue highly desirable, from user perspective
• Providing FAIR guidance to researchers
• Events and materials on trainings skills
• Networking with other trainers• Training materials on all
relevant competences• Training materials to EOSC
services
Two scenario’s: i. user perspective (as a researcher you want to find the most relevant courses), and ii. a ‘machine-interoperable perspective’ (so training can be found by IT services looking for it)
Via a marketplace of IT and soft services, offering information on training across Europe
Results of the consultation3. How can EOSC coordinate national-level policies, strategies andreward mechanisms to stimulate open research data practices?
Data Management Plan
Best practices Data Policy Training
Funder mandate DMP
Standardising DMP templates, e.g. domain specific
EOSC repository for best practices: e.g., open research data policy, infrastructural development, research collaboration, data sharing and skills development
By involving stakeholders for open data research policy and implementing cross e-infras and RIs communication;
Institutional data policy for backup during the research;Carrot approach: rewarding data producers
More action, more structure in the mapping competences;
Providing career perspectives for data professionals
What should be EOSCs priorities for skills development?
EUDAT IDCC
Catalogue of provision of training
to provide a catalogue: FAIR data principles for training materials and events
EOSC training materials and events must be FAIR, i.e. materials and event descriptions must be provided with standard metadata to make them findable, they must be accessible from EOSC e-infrastructures, they must be in open standard formats so they are interoperable with each other and with the data services they are about, and they must be provided on license terms that are as non-restrictive as possible to encourage reuse.

Connecting with training WPs in other EOSC projects
In the last 2 workshops the Training Components of OpenAIRE-Advance and EOSC-hub were presentedboth started 1 January 2018 – end December 2020both have a strong training componentwill work together on overlapping topics: e.g.
Support Data Management Plan – EOSC-hub working with the NOADS of OAAWebinars: generic and discipline specific
EOSC Training as a Service
EOSC Training as a Service : provide a comprehensive collection of training materials and events with regards to the EOSCpilot Competence Framework and EOSC service portfolioEOSC users: find most relevant training materials and eventsEOSC trainers: find, reuse and attribute materials, scale up number of training events
www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Your comment on Training as a Service
Training as a Service:By playing central coordinating role in harvesting training information: there is a wide range of resources already available, and a large number of relevant portals including FOSTER, EDISON, and more discipline-specific outlets from the Research Infrastructures; Extending FAIR principles to training resources;Performing quality assurance, certification of providers, or badging of content in a central catalogue of training materials and events.
Comments from other WPs on the proposals for training-as-a-service and the infrastructure for that - how will this relate to the service portfolio and catalogue?How does the work in your WP relates to skills/training: e.g. EOSC policy on skills – what does this imply for wp7?Applicability of FAIR principles to training/learning resources.
