We would like to invite you to an upcoming training session organized by the PATTERN Project, of which we are a partner, entitled “FAIR Research Data Management: From Principles to Practice”.

This two-hour online pilot training, organized jointly by OpenAIRE and DANS, is designed for senior researchers, project managers, and RDM professionals (intermediate/advanced level) to deepen their understanding of FAIR Research Data Management (RDM) and apply best practices in Open Science.

Using a blended flipped-classroom approach, participants will engage with self-paced learning modules (OpenPlato, Sessions 1–3) before the live session, ensuring a strong foundation in FAIR principles and RDM fundamentals. The synchronous workshop will feature interactive discussions and hands-on exercises using ARGOS (OpenAIRE’s DMP tool), empowering attendees to translate theory into practice.
