| WDS is excited to invite you to the Joint Statement on Research Data Webinar. Join us to hear WDS, STM, Crossref, and DataCite discuss the endorsement of the joint statement and what it means for connections within data infrastructure. Learn more about the history of the research data statement and its role in enhancing research assessment.
Our speakers, Helena Cousijn (DataCite), Martyn Rittman (Crossref), and Hylke Koers (STM) will talk about why it is important to endorse the statement and other assessment recommendations. There will be a Q&A and discussion to conclude the webinar. Whether you are a researcher, publisher, or research organization, the webinar will offer great insight into each role in data and open research infrastructure. We look forward to seeing you there! A recording of the webinar will be made available.

“Navigating the Path to Success in Disaster Data Management” by Junshi Xia and Zhang Feng
Join us for a webinar where Professors Junshi Xia and Zhang Feng will delve into the pivotal aspects of disaster data management, encompassing data sharing, discovery, and integration. This session aims to be much more than a technical discussion. It is a unique opportunity for our Early Career Researcher network (ECR) to gain insights and be inspired by professionals who have navigated this complex field successfully. Our speakers will not only cover the integral details of disaster data management but also provide guidance on how early career researchers can carve out their own successful path in this vital discipline. Their professional journeys serve as invaluable roadmaps, offering practical advice and strategic direction. We encourage all aspiring professionals and curious minds to join us on this enlightening journey. Whether you’re just starting your career or looking for ways to make significant strides in disaster data management, this webinar offers valuable perspectives that could help shape your professional trajectory. We look forward to seeing you there

| CLARIN’s Learning Hub has been extended to include two new sections!
Guidelines and Best Practicesoffer resources for teachers and lecturers keen to FAIRify their learning materials, or integrate research infrastructures into their teaching. It also includes an overview of CLARIN’s activities in the wider RI landscape, with information on research careers, data stewardship and curricula.
The Intro to CLARIN Tutorial is intended for users who are (relatively) new to CLARIN and the world of research infrastructures. The course is suitable for anyone interested in learning how to use CLARIN’s central services for language research, or sharing and archiving language resources, and can also be reused by teachers and educators. The course was developed as part of the UPSKILLS project and is now openly accessible on the CLARIN website. |

| This award will initiate a Travel Grant program for faculty from typically under-resourced institutions, such as Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs), Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), and community colleges. Faculty at these institutions often have higher teaching loads and do not have access to significant travel funds, making it more difficult for them to attend scientific conferences. Attendance at conferences allows faculty to establish connections with other researchers and bring back the latest innovations in research and teaching to their classrooms. |

| If your work or research touches on ecology and evolutionary biology topics, please consider completing this 7-minute survey on Open Science.
You are invited to take part in a global-wide survey that seeks to assess the potential advantages and disadvantages associated with the open science agenda within the broad research landscape. The open science agenda, which promotes accessibility, transparency, and collaboration in research, has gained prominence in recent years and researchers from the University of Sheffield are keen to uncover insights into how individuals with responsibilities in various stakeholder positions perceive the agenda.
The survey takes approximately 7 minutes to complete and participation in this study is anonymous and voluntary. Complete the survey here. |
