When: February 25, 2026, 9:15–15:30
Where: online

The EOSC EDEN and FIDELIS projects are hosting a series of three interconnected training workshops focused on research data reuse. Data sharing and reuse are essential for maximising the value of research by enabling new discoveries and insights without the need to duplicate efforts. These actions further foster collaboration and transparency, which in turn may increase reproducibility and trust in scientific findings. Yet, the level of uptake of data sharing and data reuse practices varies within the research communities.  The workshops explore different aspects related to data reusability: 1) cultural & educational, 2) legal & ethical, and 3) technical. .

All three workshops are stand-alone yet interrelated events – participants are welcome to attend the full day or only selected parts.

Overcoming (perceived) barriers to reuse of research data: Cultural and educational aspects
9:15–11:00
In this training workshop, we consider some legal and ethical aspects of data reusability. Through a series of talks and guided discussions we consider how data professionals are supporting and collaborating with researchers in research data management and sharing, including support with the CARE Principles. We consider what repositories should be (better) aware of regarding the challenges that researchers face around data ownership and ethical challenges, both as data depositors and potential data reusers. We look at what current projects are working on that aim to better inform researchers about how data has been used or can be (re)used, including more complex data access and reuse conditions.

Overcoming (perceived) barriers to reuse of research data: Technical aspects
13:45–15:30
In this training webinar, we consider some technical aspects around data reusability. We take a particular focus on several important elements of data management that are crucial for data reuse: metadata, data documentation, and data citation. The event presents the perspectives of specialists who are developing tools to encourage the creation of rich and complete metadata, supporting data documentation, and tracking data impact through citation practices.
