Europeana Foundation – citation survey [Closes 18th Sept]

Europeana Foundation – citation survey

At the Europeana Foundation, we are keen to facilitate the access and reuse of the data we make available via Europeana.eu and via our APIs.

We have recently focused on data citation.

We would greatly appreciate your response to a quick survey to better understand how data is cited and reused in academia and research: https://survey.zohopublic.eu/zs/m6D6VU

Your input will be crucial in helping us support research workflows through the development of tools and services in the common European data space for cultural heritage.

n addition to informing technical improvements, your response may help us define recommendations and good practices for the cultural heritage sector.

The survey contains a maximum of 16 questions and should take around 10 minutes to complete.

Please share your input by Friday, 18 September!

DARIAH-CH and its national partners are pleased to announce the DARIAH-CH Training Series 2026–2027, a new programme of online training sessions designed to introduce researchers to the methods, tools, and good practices that are shaping digital scholarship in the arts and humanities.

The series is aimed primarily at early-career researchers, doctoral candidates, master’s students, and anyone new to Digital Humanities who wishes to develop practical digital research skills. No prior technical knowledge is required.

Over eleven sessions, participants will explore fundamental topics in arts and digital humanities. The programme combines conceptual foundations with practical demonstrations and hands-on examples, enabling participants to understand both the underlying principles and their application to humanities research.

Each 90-minute online session consists of:

  • 40 minutes of theoretical introduction,
  • 30 minutes of practical demonstrations or hands-on activities,
  • 20 minutes of questions and discussion.

Meet the Neighbours: ORI, Sonraí and the Irish Reproducibility Network [28 Sept, 11am, online]

ORI, Sonraí and the Irish Reproducibility Network

Repository work does not happen in isolation. The same researchers whose outputs we deposit are also being asked to manage their data properly, document their methods transparently, and make their work reproducible. Different national networks are supporting different parts of that picture, often without knowing much about each other.

This ORI event brings three of those networks into the same room.

Agenda

  • Welcome and introduction, Hardy Schwamm (UCC), ORI
  • Sonraí, the Irish Data Stewardship Network, Zenobie Garrett (RCSI)
  • The Irish Reproducibility Network (IRN), Dermot Lynott (Maynooth University), IRN Chair,
  • Open discussion: where our work overlaps, and where we could work together

About the three networks

ORI is a national peer network where repository practitioners support each other, share knowledge, and work together to strengthen repository practice across Ireland.

Sonraí is Ireland’s data stewardship network. It works to raise the profile of data stewards, professionalise the role, and build the skills needed for a FAIR and open research data landscape. If you have ever been “the data person” in your team, Sonraí is talking about your work.

The Irish Reproducibility Network is a national, peer-led consortium working to improve research quality, transparency and culture across all disciplines. It focuses on training, connecting local leads across institutions, and practical support for open and reproducible practice.

All are grassroots practitioner networks, initially supported by the National Open Research Forum, and all three are working towards the same national goals under the National Action Plan for Open Research.
