Data Space interoperability

This session will be interactive. The aim is to share common insights about data space interoperability with each other in order to jointly identify the aspects that need to be safeguarded for this. The idea is to have an open interactive session on the topic "What do we need to arrange to make different data spaces interoperable?" The disadvantage of a data space is its border. We always want to combine broader data, but you can't fit the whole world in one data space. So, what is needed if we want to use data from different data spaces?

Fighting the reproducibility crisis with automation

Do you lie awake at night worrying about the reproducibility crisis in science? Then this session is for you. In this session, you will discover how a collaboration between data repositories, research service providers and researchers is taking concrete steps to make reproducibility tools accessible to researchers. You will learn about new standards, such as RO-Crate, and services currently in development. These new developments make it possible to automate reproducibility and help you make your research reproducible as well as reproduce the work of others. During the session, you will see a demo of a reproducibility workflow. The workflow starts with a publication in the 4TU.ResearchData repository and ends with a virtual research environment on SURF Research Cloud in which the data, software, and article are available to the researcher. Finally, you will learn how you can join us in the fight against the reproducibility crisis and promote open science in the Netherlands.

Researchers and Supporters: Supply and Demand

As research data supporters, we want to assist our researchers in the best way that we can. Working together requires a shared lexicon and understanding of key terminology, as well as legible coordination of expectations and offerings. We, the UDCC at Utrecht University, identify situations where we can improve our services. Often researchers and supporters match on needs and offerings but there is a context gap, resulting in mismeetings, needs that go unmet, and services without demand. With this session, we aim to chart these gaps at the national level and publish the results to build better research connections across the Netherlands. Bringing researchers and supporters together, we can determine whether needs and available support are aligned or if gaps need to be bridged between both groups. We will first facilitate separate discussions with researchers and supporters to explore their respective processes. Then, we will combine both groups to identify existing matches, uncover unmet needs, and recognize support services that are available but not currently in demand. By fostering open dialogue and collaboration between researchers and data supporters, we hope to create a stronger foundation for ongoing engagement, ensuring that researchers receive the right support to advance their research while supporters gain valuable insights to refine and enhance their services.

How to make your research software ready for publishing?

In this session, you'll learn the principles of research software conformity checking and how to use Code Auditor to assess research software projects against best practices, identify potential issues, and receive actionable recommendations for improvement. The session is aimed at researchers and RSEs who develop research software, as well as data and software stewards who support FAIR practices in research software development. With Code Auditor, you can quickly analyze an existing software project, such as a local code base or GitHub repository, and receive a detailed report on various aspects, including code layout, version control, license, citation, user documentation, code documentation, packaging, unit testing, and publishing. The report will highlight issues like missing citation files, inconsistent packaging information, incomplete code documentation, and more, while providing actionable suggestions for improvement. Additionally, the tool can automatically fix many of the identified issues with a single command. Adhering to best practices in research software development is essential for creating modern and sustainable research software. However, keeping up with the rapidly evolving best practices can be challenging. Code Auditor is designed to assess adherence to these practices and aims to support the development of research code by promoting consistency, quality, and reproducibility across projects.

Supporting Researchers with the Research Cockpit

The Research Cockpit service from the researcher's perspective is experienced as the central interface where researchers can navigate RDM & related processes and discover/access relevant and appropriate Research Data Infrastructure (RDI) systems and services. The Research Cockpit service from the support staff perspective provides structure and a way to integrate their engagements with researchers in integrated chained processes that span multiple teams. The system facilitates researchers with, among other things: creating their Data Management Plan in collaboration with Data Stewards, initiating relevant documents such as data sharing agreements, getting Ethical approval from the Ethical Review Board, and gaining access to and support on systems to store and share their research data. The first version of the system was built and continues to grow in a collaborative effort by a growing group of teams across IT and Research Support. In this session, the team lead of the Data Stewards at the TU/e and Service Manager within the Research Data Infrastructure Lab will present how the system came together via collaboration. We will share how it is experienced from both the researcher's perspective and support staff perspective since the system went live in September 2024.

New Open Science Contribution? Toot It to Claim It!

Research assessment approaches evolve towards evaluating your performance on the basis of a wide range of activities rather than merely relying on the traditional impact factor and citation count metrics. For this, existing efforts focus on the low hanging fruit, typically tracking contributions that have a DOI. But what about the rest? What about blogs, newspaper articles, podcasts, conference attendances, teaching activities? Obviously, as a researcher, you know when you made a new contribution. But manually adding it to your profile page is not realistic because you contribute so much. How about a solution that allows you to toot the URL of a contribution to automatically add it to your profile page? And, while you are at it, restart the informal scholarly conversation, lost when Twitter became X, on Mastodon? If that all sounds appealing, join this session that introduces SURF’s “Toot It to Claim It” prototype: • Get an insight in the prototype’s overall set-up and future plans • Be among the first to compile a profile page by tooting about open science contributions • Challenge the prototype by tooting different types of contributions and detect for which cases automation causes problems • Learn about the prototype’s success rate in controlled experiments • Learn about aspects of trust provided by the prototype, including reliable attribution of toots to researchers, public logging of the claim process, archiving contribution snapshots, and profile page versioning PUBLIC CONFIRMED Workshop (e.g. game, drafting a paper, hands-on training/tutorials) https://pretalx.surf.nl/srd25/talk/PBRSZE/ On Air Knowledge Exchange PIDs4AI working group Patrick Hochstenbach PUBLISH PXQH3E@@pretalx.surf.nl -PXQH3E GPT-NL: A sovereign and lawful LLM for the Netherlands - but how then? en en 20250520T135500 20250520T144000 0.04500

GPT-NL: A sovereign and lawful LLM for the Netherlands - but how then?

In today’s rapidly advancing AI landscape, Large Language Models (LLMs) are becoming an integral part of a growing range of applications. These models are deep neural networks capable of understanding and generating text based on extensive datasets. In recent years, LLMs have been applied in areas such as creative writing, software development, and autonomous agents. Their development relies on training with vast amounts of text data, enabling them to recognize complex patterns and contextual subtleties in language. GPT-NL is a project funded by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, aimed at developing a sovereign Dutch-English language model. Built from the ground up, GPT-NL will be a transparent, legally compliant LLM aligned with European standards. This includes clear accountability in how data is sourced and curated, with a strong emphasis on addressing bias, ethical considerations, and the responsible acquisition of properly licensed data. Through this, GPT-NL aims to promote openness, transparency, and data privacy for its users. Grounded on scientific research, we are working to optimize the scope, training, and implementation of the model, ensuring that it is both efficient and effective. This is your chance to learn more about the future of Dutch AI, explore the challenges and opportunities ahead, and actively contribute to the GPT-NL community.

The same software on any research infrastructure, wouldn't that be EESSI?

Installing scientific software on complex systems such as cloud VMs or a supercomputer can be a time-consuming hurdle, and may even discourage you from using the infrastructure that would - in theory - be most suitable for your work. It also means that, when you are set up on a system, you are unlikely to move anywhere else, even if better infrastructures become available. The European Environment for Scientific Software Installations (EESSI) is an open-source project that provides a large stack of scientific software, which can be easily made available on any system in the world. This allows you to start experimenting on a local laptop, and then seamlessly move to a cloud VM or supercomputer as your computational needs increase. Aside from alleviating the software installation burden, having the same software environment everywhere opens up many more unique opportunities. In this session we will show some examples, but also open the floor for informal discussion: which opportunities do you see?

Supporting researchers in storing and archiving their sensitive research data is daily business for data support professionals at universities. So how come that the same type of data collected by BA and MA students can’t be guaranteed the same type of support and makes data professionals wring their hands in frustration? Based on reoccurring questions at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and multiple respondents from universities across the Netherlands, this Birds of a Feather aims to discuss the cycle in which the issue of sensitive data collected by students gets stuck and how to break out of it. What are some good practices in accommodating data safety and Open Science principles to students, so the next generation of researchers will be prepared in handling sensitive data according to judicial, ethical, and open science standards by default. In short this Birds of a Feather aims to - Open up the issue of handling sensitive data collected by students - Collect a series of good practices and tools which can assist in storing and archiving sensitive data collected by students - Discuss what changes (in policy) are needed to provide guidance to BA and MA students in collecting data - Find support in putting this issue on the national agenda PUBLIC CONFIRMED BoF discussion (Birds of a feather), 30 or 45 minutes https://pretalx.surf.nl/srd25/talk/AS8XH9/ Jeanne Roos Cahit Oguz Tycho Hofstra PUBLISH NF8FGM@@pretalx.surf.nl -NF8FGM Building Diverse Open Science Communities en en 20250520T151000 20250520T154000 0.03000

Building Diverse Open Science Communities

This interactive session will provide practical guidance on how to build an OS community of practice, by drawing on our experience with setting up the Community of Practice for Open Naturally Occurring Data, which currently comprises 20 researchers and research professionals. We will outline the steps we undertook in building the community—such as identifying and reaching target audiences, inviting them to join the community, and developing community-sustaining structures. For each step, we will explain how me made important decisions and evaluate their outcomes. This way, rather than offering a rigid ‘recipe’ for establishing an OS community, this session will help you to: 1. Identify key factors to consider when building an OS community; 2. Anticipate possible pitfalls as well as leverage opportunities unique to your situation. The last part of the session will be reserved to your answering questions and providing tailored advice. So, if you are considering or currently developing an OS community, you are welcome to share your dilemmas or difficulties and receive input from both the presenters and the rest of the audience.

Building Sustainable Practices: Stimulating the (Re)Use of FAIR Research Data

The reuse of research data is an essential component of Open Science and sustainable research practices, yet it remains underutilized in many disciplines. As research support evolves, we have the potential to play a key role in fostering a culture where researchers actively seek, trust, and reuse existing datasets. In this Birds of a Feather discussion, we invite all research support professionals to explore the extent to which we could take an active role in promoting research data reuse, and how we could to this. Should we act as facilitators and educators of data reuse? What barriers currently prevent researchers from using existing data, and how can we help address these issues? We aim to facilitate an open and informal discussion, drawing on the experiences of participants to explore practical interventions, necessary policy changes, and potential collaborations. By the end of the session, we hope to have identified key actions that research support professionals can take to support data reuse and contribute to a more sustainable research ecosystem.

Is the future… now?! Exploring machine actionable DMPs with OSTrails-NL & Argos

Is the future… now?! During the SRD24 workshop ‘What’s behind the Data Management Plan of the future?’, more than 50 RDM(-adjacent) stakeholders gathered together to share their visions for the DMP of the future. Discussions covered a range of topics, from the different meanings of ‘machine actionability,’ to how DMPs can be made more domain-specific, to the need for reducing administrative overhead for researchers. Building on the outcomes of these conversations, this year’s workshop is an opportunity to dive further into the magical world of machine actionable DMPs (maDMPs). Part demo and part group discussion, we will collectively explore Argos, one of several maDMP tools currently available. In doing so, we will learn more about how maDMP tooling can be leveraged by Dutch RPOs in supporting the development of integrated workflows – that is, workflows combing DMP/privacy/ethics documentation in a single software environment – as well as about ongoing efforts within the Horizon-funded OSTrails project to enhance the connectivity and streamline the assessment of DMPs.

Researchers are happy with their support staff, but ambivalent about the growing amount of required research processes. DMPs, privacy checks, transparency measures, FAIR storage. Time-consuming! And what for exactly? In this interactive session, with your help, we want to explore how to engage in dialogs with staff by providing feedback on 4y-trends in their adherence to a research quality checklist. In 2020, at Open Science Support Desk (Amsterdam University Applied Sciences), we created a 14-item Open Science Checklist. Now, 5 years on, we were curious about trends in adherence to the Checklist. We drew a time- and lectorate-stratified sample of 24 projects at our faculty and scored the checklist items using published output and researcher interviews. We will share methods, main results and limitations. Then, with your help, we want to explore how monitoring projects such as ours can be used for constructive dialogs with researchers and local policymakers to improve how we do research.

IoT connectivity for research

How can we facilitate researchers when they need connectivity for their research? For the laptop and smartphone, eduroam is available. But what about other devices or sensors? SURF has developed the service iotroam to easily connect devices with wifi if they cannot use eduroam. A self-service portal allows users to register their devices themselves, without intervention of the IT department. In addition, we at SURF are looking at other IoT protocols. We think that LoRaWAN currently plays an important role for education and research. Therefore, we are in the process of setting up and rolling out a nationwide LoRaWAN network for our members. Our aim is that this can be used in a low-threshold way and, if desired, the data can be processed in the familiar SURF environment, for example in SURF Research Cloud. In the demo, we will show how iotroam and the LoRaWAN solution work and how they can be used in practice. We will bring some devices and sensors for the demonstration. We also have the connection with IoT for Research in SURF Research Cloud for real-time processing and visualization of the data, providing an end-to-end solution for researchers.

Strengthening Diamond Open Access in the Netherlands

The UKB-programme Strengthening Diamond Open Access in the Netherlands (2024 - 2026) helps advance not-for-profit journals and publishers. The demo displays the online Expertisecentre which launched last january, which will provide tailor cut information on diamond open access publishing for authors, editorial boards and university presses, along with preliminary results from our analysis of the Dutch diamond journal landscape. We'll also present our plans for establishing a shared technical infrastructure that will be made available to all university presses, research institutes, and other academic organisations that wish to develop and publish their own articles, journals and (text)books.

Data Hunters role play card game

Data Hunters is an interactive, team-based card game designed for 8-40 participants, immersing players in real-world data management dilemmas. Participants take on roles such as Researcher, Data Steward, Ethics Expert, or Privacy Advisor, collaborating to tackle ethical dilemmas, legal challenges, and data management risks. The game is inspired by real research scenarios, like managing data for a living lab in Kathmandu, addressing issues like incomplete consent forms, data breaches, and cultural complexities. Teams face unpredictable twists in the form of Danger Cards, which introduce sudden complications and force players to adapt their strategies under pressure, testing both critical thinking and teamwork. In addition to being a fast-paced 55-minute game, Data Hunters is a versatile tool for brainstorming, icebreaking, community-building, and training. It is used in the "Personal Data and Human Subjects in Research" course at TU Delft to engage PhD students in data ethics and research challenges. Data Hunters has also been presented at the RDA conference in Costa Rica and is now used by multiple institutes globally. This innovative tool sharpens problem-solving abilities, enhances understanding of data ethics, and prepares players to handle real-world data management complexities while fostering effective collaboration.

MORIS: Taking steps towards a Modular Open Research Information System for UASs

Aligned with the principles of the Barcelona Declaration on open research information, the proposed Modular Open Research Information System (MORIS) strengthens digital sovereignty by allowing institutions to control their own research information, reducing dependency on proprietary platforms that may limit transparency and result in black-box decision-making. Focusing on projects, MORIS integrates information from existing components using open standards, enabling alignment across institutions and facilitating efficient information exchange relevant to research, education, and industry. This modular approach respects institutional differences and provides a customizable, scalable solution for institutions of varying sizes, as each institution can integrate the modules that they deem relevant provided they adhere to the community standards. In this current phase we are working with the community to prioritize their needs in terms of information for reporting, steering, and visibility. In this interactive session we need your input to start the prioritizing process with regards to what the needed modules (e.g. a grant module, a project module, a researcher/affiliation module) are. Also, we want to hear from you, the different stakeholders (researchers, research managers, data stewards) and different types of institutions (UASs or University) about how you would like to interact with MORIS.
