This deliverable describes the transnational access activities carried out during the third and fourth year of the ARIADNE project (2015-2016) within Work Package 8 (WP8) by the Digital Curation Unit, ATHENA RC (Greece). It describes the programme and objectives of these training activities, and the participants’ profiles and feedback. The first activity was a week-long Summer School, organized in Athens between 29 June and 3 July 2015 on “Emerging digital practices in archaeological research”, to enable researchers and professionals in archaeology to engage with cutting edge and emerging digital practices within archaeological research, ranging from new methods to capture, organise and curate archaeological resources and data to new approaches of archaeological interpretation and dissemination, mediated by digital infrastructures. The second activity, organised in collaboration with the Faculty of Information of the University of Toronto and the Department of Informatics of the Athens University of Economics and Business, was a week-long Summer School on the topic of \"Digital curation of archaeological knowledge\", conducted in Athens between 13 and 17 June 2016. Both summer schools attracted TNA scholars and other archaeological researchers of all levels of experience, from postgraduate students to professors, engaging them with aspects of the ARIADNE digital infrastructure based on their individual research projects and challenges of using digital methods, resources and tools. They both involved an international faculty complementing the local team of Digital Curation Unit experts, and consisted of two modules: a) a training school (three days), based on a combination of seminars and hands-on workshops, and b) an expert forum (two days), in which transnational access participants were invited to interact with experts on digital archaeological methods, datasets and curation on planning aspects of using digital archaeological infrastructures.
\nThirteen researchers, attached to institutions from seven European countries, participated in the two summer schools as transnational access scholars, receiving bursaries of 1000 Euros to cover travel and subsistence costs. Participants reported that they benefited from new learning on digital archaeology methods and tools, resources and scholarly literature, collaboration and mentoring by experts, and application of new knowledge in planning and implementing their own research projects. They recommend broader dissemination and expansion of TNA actions, a broader methodological curriculum beyond instrumental tasks, more hands-on activities, and creation of an online community of interest among participants. Evaluation of the Athens summer schools demonstrates that they can be effective mechanisms not just for the instrumental use of existing tools and services, but also to reflect methodologically, and develop appropriate new approaches and tools able to support the effective capture, curation, use and re-use of digital archaeological datasets for archaeological inquiry, knowledge translation and professional management of archaeological resources, for the benefit of research, education and public use.

\n\nThe original ARIADNE project, an integrating activity funded under FP7, succeeded in integrating 2m archaeological datasets into the ARIADNE Portal. Its successor, ARIADNEplus (2019-2022), is widening the disciplines covered and geographical sources, now covering all Europe, whilst also providing a Virtual Research Environment and additional tools and services for researchers. Furthermore, the current project will continue to build upon developing relationships with key stakeholders such as the most important European archaeological associations, researchers, heritage professionals, national heritage agencies etc.

\nThe community is managed by CERN on behalf of the European Commission.
\nZenodo’s general policies and Terms of Use apply to all content.
\nThe EU Open Research Repository accepts all digital research objects which is a research output stemming from one of EU’s research and innovation funding programmes. The funding programmes currently include:
\nHorizon Europe (including ERC, MSCA), earlier Framework Programmes (eg Horizon 2020) as well as Euratom.
\nIn line with the principle as open as possible, as closed as necessary both public and restricted content is accepted. See note on how Zenodo handles restricted content.
\nEU programme beneficiaries are eligible to submit content to the community. The community supports three types of content submissions:
\nSubmission via an EU Project Community (through user interface or programmatic APIs).
\nSubmission directly to the EU Open Research Repository.
\nAutomated harvesting from existing Zenodo content.
\nA representative of an EU project may request an EU Project Community and invite other project participants as members of the community. The project community is linked to one or more European Commission grants. All records in the project community are automatically integrated into the EU Open Research Repository immediately upon acceptance into the project community.
\nAny user may submit a record directly to the EU Open Research Repository. The submission will be moderated by Zenodo staff for compliance with the minimal required metadata requirements and its correctness.
\nRecords found among Zenodo’s existing content will on a regular basis automatically be integrated if they are found to comply with the requirements. The submissions through this method are integrated into the EU Open Research Repository with delay in a fully automated way.
\nRecords in the EU Open Research Repository are required to comply with the following minimal metadata requirements:
\nVisibility: Both public and restricted (with or without embargo and/or access request)
\nResource types: All resource types.
\nLicenses: Public and embargoed records MUST specify a license. The chosen license SHOULD be compliant with the Horizon Europe open science requirements (see Open Science in Horizon Europe)
\nFunding information: Records MUST specify at least one grant from the European Commission.
\nCreators: Creators SHOULD be identified with a persistent identifier (e.g. ORCID, GND, …), and affiliations SHOULD be identified with a persistent identifier (e.g. ROR, ISNI, …)
\nSubjects: Records SHOULD specify one or more fields of science from the European Science Vocabulary.
\nThese metadata requirements comes from the related open science requirements in Horizon Europe which are detailed in each project's grant agreement.
\nAll submissions undergo automated curation checks for compliance with the policy. Submissions through project communities are in addition reviewed by the project community. Submission directly to the EU Open Research Repository is in addiotn reviewed by Zenodo staff.
\nCommunity curators may at any point edit metadata of the records in the community without notice through human or automated processing. The curators may at their sole discretion remove records from the community that are deemed not to comply with the content and curation policy or which are deemed of insufficient quality.
\nThe content and curation policy is subject to change by the community owner at any time and without notice, other than through updating this page.

The EU Open Research Repository simplifies the process of complying with open science requirements, ensuring that research outputs from Horizon Europe, Euratom, and earlier Framework Programmes are freely accessible, thereby accelerating scientific discovery and innovation.
\nThe EU Open Research Repository serves as a complementary platform to the Open Research Europe (ORE) publishing platform. Open Research Europe focuses on providing a publishing venue for peer-reviewed articles, ensuring that research meets rigorous academic standards. The EU Open Research Repository provides a space for all the other research outputs including data sets, software, posters, and presentations that are out of scope for ORE. This holistic approach enables researchers to not only publish their findings but also share the underlying data and materials that support their work, fostering transparency and reproducibility in the scientific process.
