This document "TrainingInTheEOSC_WorkshopReport_01_00.pdf"is the output of a three-day workshop on Training in the EOSC, 26-28 February 2020, The Hague, The Netherlands. The workshop was organised by DANS in collaboration with EUDAT, EGI and OpenAIRE.It provides recommendations regarding Rules of Participation for training as well as recommendations regarding practical guidance for training service providers. As an additional workshop output the file “Additional_workshopoutput_TrainingRoP_seperate_setV1.0.pdf” has been added. This document is based on the original report and is created at the request of the EOSC Working Group Rules of Participation. It presents a separate set of Rules of Participation for training, whereas the original report integrates the proposed training RoPs into the Services and Data Section. The two versions differ in presentation, not in intention. In both the report and this document we have taken the draft EOSC Rules of Participation (v0.2) as our starting point.

Sharing, reusing and reproducing data, software and other digital objects forms the cornerstone of open science practices. Such practices are guided by the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) principles. Implementing FAIR principles is not always straightforward, especially in the context of Bioinformatics training. If we are to meet worldwide demand for such training, adhering to the FAIR principles is vital not only for data and software, but also for training materials (any digital object used in a training context, such as slide presentations, exercises, datasets). To facilitate this process, and break the principles down into practical steps, the ELIXIR Training Platform community has put together ten simple rules for making training materials FAIR. Above all is the need to plan to share your training materials online from the outset. Amongst the remaining rules is the importance of describing materials properly, assigning unique identifiers, registering them online, defining access criteria, and using interoperable formats. The full set of ten rules is presented here.

This document reports on the engagement activities undertaken in the EOSCpilot project and highlights good examples of engagement per stakeholder category. Intentional overlaps exist in certain categories, because a need for interconnection and active dialogue between stakeholder categories was identified early on as a significant issue for successful engagement. This report details the outcomes of the engagement activities throughout the project, following the structure of D8.2 Stakeholder Identification & Engagement Strategy Plan. It provides best practices of engagement by Stakeholder Group, as initially identified and mapped in the first period of the project. The report concludes with a set of recommendations for engagement of the EOSC stakeholder groups after the end of the EOSCpilot project.
