Template for a Minimum Viable Skillset

This template offers guidance on the structure and content of a Minimum Viable Skillset (MVS) Profile, to describe key skills and competences. It has been developed for the purpose of skills development for various roles that enable researchers, professionals, and stakeholders to practice Open Science (OS). It initially targets needs of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), and the authors welcome feedback on its potential for this and other contexts. MVS Profiles draw on established competences frameworks and resources, and are proposed as an aid to skills development, especially curricula and course design. Each MVS Profile relates the skillset for a role to the Open Science (OS) practices, activities, and outcomes that may typically be expected of the role concerned.
