Our collaboration with the Research Data Netherlands (RDNL)
As members of RDNL, we coach the Essentials 4 Data Support (E4DS) course for data stewards. E4DS is an introductory programme designed for anyone who supports researchers in managing and sharing their research data. From September to November 2024, we delivered the autumn edition to 14 participants, representing institutions such as the University of Groningen, Eindhoven University of Technology and Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen.
The Dutch Data Prize - another initiative of RDNL, is a valuable recognition of researchers’ contributions to their fields and to the principles of FAIR data. In 2024, the award ceremony was held in the Hague in October. The winners were:
- ‘Impact-Aware Robotics Database’ in the category of Natural & Engineering Sciences (also a 4TU.ResearchData FAIR Data Fund grantee)
- ‘Generations and Gender Survey’ in the category of Social Sciences & Humanities
- ‘Xeno-canto’ in the category of Life Sciences & Health
