This course equips digital preservation professionals with a range of skills relating to various aspects of receiving, handling, and managing digital content. Participants will learn about key digital preservation concepts, how to prepare digital materials for preservation, to approach workflow development for digital preservation and will learn about current tools for working with digital materials.
 The course is structured around five core modules:
 
 1. Digital preservation concepts and workflows
 
 2. File format identification and characterisation
 
 3. Quick start to the command line
 
 4. Metadata and digital preservation
 
 5. Packaging digital materials for ingest or transfer

The Event management webinar will focus on practical aspects of event organisation within EU research projects and will guide you through some of the most important considerations and criteria for events funded from EU projects. It will also present a step-by-step guide for event organisation to help you plan and organise your events, while avoiding common mistakes which may lead to many stressful situations. The webinar will also cover communication and promotion and will give you practical tips to promote your event and efficiently communicate its outcomes. At the end of webinar you will be able to download the practical guidelines for your future events.

A variety of courses and webinars available upon registration. Some of them are free of charge. Main topics include: Data and responsibility, big data, data for business analytics, data in the public sector, data ecosystem mapping, sharing data, data skills, applying machine learning and AI techniques to data, data ethics

This document is a resource developed for the Belmont Forum for evaluating formal Data Management Plans submitted by research teams who've been awarded Collaborative Research Action funding. The purpose and use of this Scorecard is three-fold: as an evaluation tool to quantitatively assess full proposal DMP responses to questions drawn from the Data and Digital Outputs Management Plan (DDOMP) template that are included in the Belmont Forum grant application process on BFGO.org; as a training resource to be shared with potential proposers to help define expectations for data management and/or with awardees (i.e., post-award) to identify specific elements of their data management planning efforts that may be unclear or lacking; and/or as an evaluation tool employed by the Secretariat or TPOs to access milestones and progress during mid- or end-term project review/valorization.

The video tutorials introduce basic topics on Data Management. Belmont Forum research teams can find training material that is appropriate for their project needs, as well as resources to improve efficiency, sustainability, and accessibility of data management.

A website from the Danish National Forum for Research Data Management. Concept of research data management. Three fundamental concepts: the FAIR principles, FAIR data, and FAIRification practices. Presentation of FAIRification practices for research data, i.e. documentation, file formats, metadata, access to data, persistent identifiers, and data licences. To aid other research supporters and research data managers, the authors have copied over the entire content of their e-Learning website: https://www.howtoFAIR.dk to Zenodo record. Transcripts of all videos, and the text on each page and sub-page are available on Zenodo in the DOCX file for use in trainers own teaching materials. A copy of all images on the website, as well as alternate versions and file formats, are available in the ZIP file.

Like in any profession, scientists are frequently faced with dilemmas: Can I exclude particular observations from my research? Can I use exactly the same data set for multiple papers? Should I agree on a colleague being a co-author on a paper to which she has not made a significant contribution? The Dilemma Game confronts researchers with difficult dilemmas in the context of a critical dialogue, supporting them in further developing their own 'moral compass'. For years, the Dilemma Game was played as a card game, but in 2020 the game has been digitalized. The Dilemma Game app now allows researchers to use the game anytime, anywhere, on their own, or together with peers and colleagues.

The strength of the Australasia Preserves community comes from its grass-roots passion to share. Australasia Preserves recognised education and training for digital preservation as a top priority from its beginning. At its first meeting in February 2018 there was discussion around the idea of developing ‘digital preservation carpentry’ lessons. Throughout 2018 more discussion and activities revealed the importance of making sure digital preservation concepts were tightly coupled with tool experimentation. A survey to find out what people were interested in learning most was carried out.
 
 A digital preservation carpentry workshop was piloted in February 2019 at the 14th International Digital Curation Conference. Community discussion at the Australasia Preserves February 2019 monthly online meeting resulted in a decision to convene a working group on digital preservation education comprising educators and professionals. Its aim was to further develop and finalise the digital preservation carpentry workshop, and to develop a more formal educational framework for designing and delivering digital preservation training. Material will be hosted by the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) and will also be available to communities in other parts of the world. The activities of the working group are actively helping to improve digital preservation practice training and education in the Australasian region.

CORBEL and EOSC-Life joint webinar series: Engaging with your community through events and training. The CORBEL webinar series aims to address challenges and share best practice between biological and medical research infrastructures.EOSC-Life will be offering a variety of trainings for the benefit of our project participants, as well as the research community as a whole.

This repository contains resources (links to training, policies, best practices, and other information) that enable Belmont Forum researchers to meet the Data Management expectations described in the Data and Digital Objects Management Plan, as well as a step-by-step guide to completing the DDOMP at the stages of pre-proposal, full proposal, and awarded projects. "Toolkit Training" video tutorials are available on YouTube for information about the material featured here and the structure of the site.
