LIBER 2020 - Workshop: Integrate FAIR Data science competences in higher education curricula: the role of academic and research libraries

These are the slides from the LIBER 2020 Workshop, Integrate FAIR Data science competences in higher education curricula: the role of academic and research libraries.

Session Description:

FAIRsFAIR is organizing a set of stakeholders workshops with organisations which develop and offer Open Science and FAIR data education and trainings. Data collected through FAIRsFAIR confirms that research and academic libraries are usually the main partner in the provision of training and support for research data management inside universities.

Data also shows that universities are very interested in advancing data science/management competencies at bachelor, master and doctoral stage. This workshop, jointly organized with the LIBER Digital Skills for Library Staff & Researchers Working Group co-chairs, seeks to identify and discuss possible approaches to move forward in this area between participants from the LIBER community and FAIRsFAIR.

Organizing parties: University of Minho, EUA – European University Association, University of Göttingen, University Amsterdam

Workshop objectives:

• Identify Open Science and FAIR data education and training initiatives in HEI.
• Define the key elements of an institutional strategy towards the integration of FAIR Data competences in higher education curricula.
