The main goal of the 4CH Project is to set up the methodological, procedural, and organisational framework of the European Competence Centre (CC) about Cultural Heritage (CH), able to seamlessly work with a network of national, regional, and local cultural Institutions, providing them with advice, support, and services. This report describes the results of Task 4.1 concerning procedures and protocols to access CC services and consultancy, and Task 4.3 focusing on Training Services on the field of activities identified, with a specific focus on the area on which the CC will release protocols, guidelines or platform tools. The research activities contribute to the general and overall objectives of WP4 of defining the services that the CC will offer, based on the 4CH organisational and operational structures.

This document describes a methodology for FAIR-by-design production of learning materials based on the backward instructional process that is extended with additional activities focusing on the implementation of the FAIR guiding principles. A general discussion on important aspect of implementation such as granularity, scope, metadata schema, interoperability and publication in relevant repositories is provided together with a step by step six stage workflow and checklists that help implement the FAIR-by-design process. The outlined methodology will be used as a blueprint for a train-the-trainer course aiming to present the practical FAIR-by-design instructional design.

Polifonia is driven by ten pilot use cases which provide both a validation context and the input requirements to the other research and development work packages. The pilots are heterogeneous in terms of knowledge domains, e.g. bells heritage, popular Irish music, history of music in Bologna, music influence on children. They involve interdisciplinary teams that bring different experience and methodological practices. This report describes the efforts made in relation with the Technical Board (TB) (see Deliverable 1.32); the Data Management Plan (DMP) (see Deliverables 7.1 and 7.43); the working group (WG4) focused on the Web portal (see Deliverable 1.95); work package 2 (WP 2) (see Deliverables 2.1, 2.4 and 2.77), WP 5 and the groups gathering the pilots and the work packages for the definition of a socio-technical Roadmap. This Roadmap aims to provide a methodological framework for the delivery of the 10 pilots. The initial version of the Roadmap (D1.1. produced at M68) described the efforts made to gather the requirements and needs of the pilots on the basis of three tools: a) the Stories, b) the Maninpasta, and c) the Survey (SMS tools). This second version provides a definition of the methods, tools and strategies that regulate the socio-technical interactions and lead to an overall Validation framework. After outlining the background to this deliverable and its status in Polifonia, the following four sections successively address the four main objectives of the Roadmap: 1. Coordinating collection of resources for use in the pilots, 2. Gathering requirements from internal and external adopters/stakeholders, 3. Setting objectives and challenges and mapping them from specific domains to the technology provider work packages, and 4. Monitoring validation within the pilot tasks. Six short appendixes make this report self-contained, including a glossary of terms, a description of the ten pilots, a description of Polifonia work packages’ organisation and an updated version of the Survey.

Iako u Zborniku dominiraju radovi koji se bave naučnicama u prošlosti, kao i njihovim radom, saznanjima, nedovoljnom afirmisanosšću njihovog rada, poteškoćama sa kojima su se suočavale, zbornik zaokružuju radovi koji se bave savremenom situacijom, tj. položajem žena u akademskoj zajednici danas i svim teškoćama koje i same akterke katkada teško detektuju i prepoznaju. Patrijarhalni mehanizmi prožimaju društvo u kome živimo na različitim nivoima, a sami principi koji vladaju u akademskom svetu – u kojima sve više važe pravila liberalnog kapitalizma i ideje o „upotrebljivosti“ nauke i merljivosti rezultata – cementiraju i prikrivaju davno odomaćen diskriminatorski odnos prema ženama i prema naučničkom glasu i diskursu koji odudara od dominantne paradigme. Stoga su neophodni neprekidni napori da se ženski glas u nauci čuje, a položaj naučnica stalno unapređuje i popravlja.

The overall objective of WP7 “Dissemination, exploitation and communication” is to address dissemination, exploitation and communication of the project at all levels and through multiple modalities to ensure the FAIR-IMPACT objectives and impacts are achieved. To assure this, an effective and efficient communication, dissemination and stakeholder engagement strategy and plan is defined in this document. The plan is built around four specific campaigns described in detail in Chapter 4, each one with clear objectives and actions custom designed around the target stakeholders that the project is addressing, which are introduced in Chapter 3. The first campaign will run across the 36 months of the project and is dedicated to the project communication (Chapter 4.1). It aims to position the FAIR-IMPACT project in EOSC and FAIR ecosystems and ensure awareness among target stakeholders. A second campaign aims to disseminate the key project results (Chapter 4.2) to ensure their widespread accessibility and uptake of the guidelines, solutions, success stories and tools developed by the project. Actions to foster implementation and adoption of FAIR solutions are part of a third campaign (Chapter 4.3) which aims to encourage research communities, data service providers, national level initiatives, and other stakeholders to implement FAIR. This will involve stimulating interest in applying to the open calls and providing useful examples of implementing FAIR in different contexts . Last but not least, collaboration and coordination mechanisms (Chapter 4.4) are also designed and planned to maximise the impact of the project by synchronising with related projects and initiatives in the EOSC framework via the Synchronisation Force workshops, engaging ambassadors, multipliers and disseminators of the FAIR-IMPACT outputs via the FAIR Champions and boosting dissemination and impact of the FAIR-IMPACT solutions at national and regional level via the National Roadshow series. An effective and smooth coordination and organisation of the project events as well as a great visibility of the project at third party events will be strategic across all the four campaigns above, and an initial list of events to be organised and attended in the first 12 months is provided in Chapter 5. Last, Chapter 6 presents the plan for monitoring the communication and dissemination activities and assessing their effectiveness on a monthly basis. The implementation of the plan depends on the active support of FAIR-IMPACT partners and progress will be monitored through fortnightly virtual WP meetings. These meetings are organised by the WP leader (Trust-IT) to discuss the activities performed and brainstorm not only about the next tasks for the following weeks but also corrective actions that may be necessary. Additional meetings may be scheduled at any appropriate time throughout the project duration, if necessary. The success of WP7 is based on the joint and coordinated effort from all FAIR-IMPACT partners not only on the communication activities but also on the quality of the technical, scientific and content-related work that will be developed during the project time frame.

In the context of the Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud - SSHOC project realising the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) part of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), Task 5.2 Hosting and sharing data repositories (T5.2) has worked towards adjusting and enhancing the Dataverse repository software to the needs of the SSH research communities. Dataverse is an open-source, community-driven data repository software that has been tailored to serve the SSH communities. This effort led to the ‘Archive in a box’ solution and relevant documentation for a downloadable installation in localised platforms, that offers the opportunity for the creation of an online repository. The current document reports on the governance and sustainability of the ‘Archive in the box’ repository software, exploring the effect this would have for the governance and sustainability of services using it. Further reporting on the process of investigating governance and sustainability of potential services using the software, this document provides information with regards to a) the creation of a proof of concept, b) discussions for further uptake, and c) its potential onboarding in the EOSC, in alignment with SSHOC’s overall governance and sustainability planning. The work delivered under T5.2 includes investigating the governance and sustainability for the ‘Archive in a box’ software and services using it. This work aspires to prove the point of a bottom-up, SSH- community led approach in supporting data repositories, as well as being the starting point for further collaboration between ERICs in this respect.

Within task 5.2 (Hosting and sharing data repositories) of the SSHOC project, repository software is being developed based on Dataverse, for the sharing and publication of research data within the Social Science and Humanities (SSH) domain. Dataverse is open-source research data repository software developed by the Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS), Harvard University. This document describes the work done by task 5.2, for the development of ‘Archive in a Box’ repository software and proof of concept of centralised installation in the cloud. The ‘Archive in a Box’ makes the installation of Dataverse repository software easier for institutes with a lack of technical staff. This document describes the advantages of such a package. Additionally, task 5.2 worked on a proof of concept of a centralised cloud installation of the Dataverse software at the Google cloud infrastructure of CESSDA ERIC. A cloud installation makes it possible to automate the installation and keep the application up and running, for instance by scaling up or down resources when needed. Another advantage of a cloud orchestrator is the ability to start a new component or part of the application, if it should fail for some reason. Furthermore, task 5.2 developed several additional functionalities to the Dataverse software to make the software more compliant to the needs of the SSH communities in Europe. This document describes the results of the accomplished work, and refers to technical details published in GitHub repositories. Already many of the results of task 5.2 are used by the European and Global Dataverse community and some functionalities are integrated in the new versions of the Dataverse master branch of Harvard.
