Social Sciences & Humanities Open Marketplace
The Social Sciences and Humanities Open Marketplace is a discovery portal which pools and contextualises resources for Social Sciences and Humanities research communities: tools, services, training materials, datasets, publications and workflows. The Marketplace highlights and showcases solutions and research practices for every step of the SSH research data life cycle. https://marketplace.sshopencloud.eu/
SSH Open Marketplace & FAIR Practices Training Series 2026
The SSH Open Marketplace Editorial Board is running an eight-part practical online workshop series in 2026, to strengthen digital skills and FAIR practices in the social sciences and humanities. Every third Friday of the month, from 1 pm to 2:30 pm (CET), the series will focus on open science, good data practices, and the smart use of the SSH Open Marketplace in everyday research. The workshops will run from February to November 2026, with a short break in July and August.
Participation is online, free of charge, and designed for active participation: questions, use cases from ongoing research projects, and insights into your own data sets are welcome in all sessions.

What’s it about?
The SSH Open Marketplace & FAIR Practices Training Series 2026 combines key questions from FAIR, CARE, and open science with practical hands-on sessions around the SSH Open Marketplace as a discovery portal for tools, services, training materials, data, and workflows. The target audience is anyone with an interest in the social sciences and humanities, but especially researchers, data managers, and research services in the SSH who want to make their data and workflows more discoverable, reusable, and connectable—without having to struggle through the multitude of offerings on their own.
