A number of changes have recently been made to our search platform on the topic of data literacy: In addition to adjustments of the layout, the number of learning and teaching materials has increased significantly to 450.The form and structure of the presentation of the metadata on the individual detail pages has been improved in terms of clarity and is adapted to the current Dalia Interchange Format (DIF).
On January 22, the DALIA team submitted a proposal for the Initialisation Phase of Base4NFDI to become a basic service in the NFDI. The aim of DALIA4NFDI is to establish a centralised platform for promoting data literacy and research data management through quality-assured, open, accessible teaching and training resources.
The “Digital Competences in Science” theme week took place in Hanover at the beginning of December 2024. The event was organized by the VolkswagenStiftung with the aim of promoting the interdisciplinary and supra-regional exchange of ideas and initiatives on digital skills in science. As part of the theme week, Dr. Yvana Glasenapp (FDM-NDS), Dr. Lioba Schreyer (fdm.nrw), Dr. Barbara Weiner (SaxFDM) and Dr. Beate Ulrike La Sala (HeFDI) organized the workshop “Data Literacy in Focus: Angebote, Qualitätssicherung und Vernetzung” from 2 to 4 December.
After two years of working on the project, the DALIA team met on December 18 and 19 in Aachen to discuss the project progress, the results of the past year, and the next steps.
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.
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.
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 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).
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.
From January 31st to February 1st, 2024, 57 interested members of the research data management community, including those from the NFDI, the data competence centers and the state initiatives, met in the Georg-Christoph-Lichtenberg-Haus in Darmstadt.
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.
