Last September we published the first call for the Europeana Research Grants Programme, with overwhelming success – we received more than 150 applications!
The 160 research proposals received thoroughly exploited the Europeana ecosystem - collections, API, metadata, channels - and reviewing them took longer than expected. We were particularly thrilled to receive proposals from around the world, from researchers of all fields of the Humanities, Social Sciences and Information Technology.
Europeana Research continues to expand, providing the best quality datasets from Europeana partners to researchers. These datasets are chosen for their value to researchers in terms of depth, subject matter, and having licenses that make them usable in research. Recently five datasets were added to the Europeana Research collection, four digital collections from European libraries and The European Library Open Dataset.
A group of junior and more senior researchers had the pleasure to meet last month in Prague in the context of a training initiative of DARIAH entitled “Open Data Citation for Social Sciences and Humanities”. This Winter School, which lasted a week (October 24-28 2016), touched upon many more issues and topics than its title suggests. Briefly, some of these topics were Open Access, Open Data, Open Peer Review and Publishing, Data Management Plan and Persistent Identification, Open Data Publication, Platforms and Infrastructures.
