Hands-on workshop: Touching on Data and Open-Source Software for Open Science, Nov 30-Dec 01 (hybrid) | NI4OS- Europe

On-site locations: Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI), University of Zagreb University Computing Centre (SRCE) and University of Belgrade (UoB) Online location: Zoom Time: 30 November – 1 December 2022 Besides bringing direct benefits to the participants, this event will help cast new light on existing concerns and problems related to the advancement of open science and the use of free and open software (FOSS) in science, by capturing perspectives from within the NI4OS-Europe communities and generating ideas related to research software, tools and practical approaches. It is a step that should help the participants and stakeholders in solving the subject issues; it will also serve as an instrument to promote the covered topics and improve knowledge about them. The goal is to familiarise the participants with the covered concepts, available NI4OS-Europe services and the advantages of FOSS. Participants may be newcomers to the topics; the goal is to ideate and increase the awareness of working across various needs, concerns and perspectives. It will hopefully provide all participants with an opportunity to learn something new about OS data and research governance, by developing ideas and initial prototypes on the offered themes. Topics Quality and improvements of data about services and resources How to develop and improve FOSS research software or service and increase its outreach How to stimulate the use of open-source software in science FOSS licence selection: assessment, improvements and recommendations Improving research and researcher data
