The Navoica platform has launched open online courses (MOOCs) in research data management, commissioned by the National Science Centre and targeted at researchers who work with research data, as well as data stewards who support them. Visit the platform and check out the syllabuses!
The courses were designed within the framework of Poland’s participation in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). EOSC is an initiative that aims to develop a virtual environment where users can store, publish and reuse research data. It connects existing and developed infrastructures, services, tools and research resources from different disciplines into a broad network of data and platforms based on FAIR principles.
Two courses are targeted at researchers who work with research data on a daily basis. They are meant to impart a comprehensive understanding of data management and develop the skills necessary to put this knowledge into practice for effective data management in actual research projects. The courses are available at beginner and intermediate levels.
Data stewards who support researchers in data management will find two more dedicated courses on the platform. These will cover the most important tasks of data stewards and develop the necessary skills, as well as explore different ways to improve data management in projects and research institutions. Data stewardship courses are also available at beginner and intermediate levels.
The courses are free and offer a certificate of completion.
The courses were designed within the framework of a task commissioned to the National Science Centre by the Minister of Education and Science, focused on the domestic coordination of the European Open Science Cloud partnership in 2022-2023. The content was developed by experts from the Open Science Platform at the Interdisciplinary Center for Mathematical and Computational Modeling at the University of Warsaw.
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are online courses open to an unlimited number of participants, available via websites or online platforms. MOOCs rely on a variety of educational materials, including interactive tools.
