DALIA at the EOSC Symposium 2024

The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative hosted the EOSC Symposium in Berlin this year. As an initiative of the European Union, the EOSC aims to foster Europe-wide progress in the field of open and digital science. The focus is on establishing a system that enables and simplifies the search for and the access to data and services for research and innovation in Europe. Therefore, supporting researchers in storing, analyzing and reusing FAIR research data and results is the main goal.

DALIA at the Base4NFDI User-Conference 2024

This year, the first Base4NFDI User Conference took place on November 20 and 21 at Fraunhofer FOKUS in Berlin. The two-day event, which is primarily designed for members of the NFDI community, was organized by the Base4NFDI initiative. The initiative aims to develop and offer general and shared RDM (Research Data Management) resources and services for the NFDI.A key objective of the conference was to present the current base services as well as future candidates to the NFDI community to explain how they can be integrated and whom to contact for assistance.

Successful Launch of the DALIA Search Platform

We are pleased to announce the successful launch of the DALIA platform. The fair search platform for teaching materials on data literacy search.dalia.education is now live! This first of three planned milestones enables access to over 300 RDM open educational resources (OER).

Where Do Data Competence Projects Stand? The DALIA Project at the BMBF Status Event in Berlin on September 19th and 20th

Where do data competence projects currently stanad? This was the guiding question of the “Statusveranstaltung der Datenkompetenzprojekte” (BMBF) held on September 19–20, 2024, in Berlin. Representatives from projects across the three funding lines – the establishment of data competence centers in science (“Aufbau von Datenkompetenzzentren in der Wissenschaft”), the strengthening of data skills among early-career researchers (“Stärkung der Datenkompetenzen des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses”), and the reuse and management of research data at universities of applied sciences (“Nachnutzung und Management von Forschungsdaten an Fachhochschulen”) – were invited to attend. Also in attendance were representatives from DALIA, as the meta-project, and the NFDI (National Research Data Infrastructure) section on Education and Training (EduTrain).

Networking of Actors and Resources – OER in the NFDI and Data Competence Centers: A Workshop Report

Teaching and learning materials (Open Educational Resources, OER) aimed at developing data literacy and competencies in research data management (RDM) are a central focus within the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) and beyond. Most RDM projects and networks either collect or produce OER, while addressing key questions regarding sustainability, aggregation, curation, and interlinking. The FAIR principles apply here in the same way as they do to research data. In this context, representatives from the NFDI consortia NFDI4Culture, NFDI4Memory, the data competence centers QUADRIGA and HERMES, and the infrastructure project of the NFDI section "Training & Education" – DALIA – gathered at the Academy of Sciences and Literature Mainz for a joint workshop on April 22–23, 2024.

DALIA after one Year

DALIA stands for Data Literacy Alliance. After the first year of the project, DALIA met again at the Technical University of Darmstadt, this time organized by the team from the University and State Library. The DALIA team discusses the results of the first year of the project and determines the next steps.
