The SSH Training Community - SSHOC Service Catalogue's Factsheets Series

The Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud project (SSHOC) is designed to achieve a great vision: Creating the Social Sciences and Humanities area of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) in a fully digital cloud-based infrastructure. Undoubtedly, people are at the center of SSHOC: researchers, IT developers, trainers, librarians, repository managers and many more that are both users and contributors. They share a common goal: conducting FAIR and meaningful research, developing supportive tools and services, and connecting people with a passion for the SSH from all over Europe. Thus, providing training resources, creating an interactive training network, and offering training activities are three crucial aspects to the success of this pan-European project. To make this complex task work, a collaboration mechanism is needed with which knowledge can be gathered and shared. In order to facilitate such exchange and connection in the field of training and education, SSHOC has established the SSH Training Community with its various formats. The community makes training resources available for reuse, facilitates exchange between trainers from the Social Sciences and Humanities as well as between those who wish to receive training, e.g. in the field of data stewardship.

The Training Community provides a platform that brings together trainers who are involved in providing training activities for Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) scholars. It allows multiple interactive formats of exchange for professionals from various countries, backgrounds, sub-domains and levels of expertise. The interaction is facilitated through monthly calls, dedicated events and a joint mailing list.
