[Sophie Hou]

Dear BESSIG members,

Please find at the bottom of this email an invitation for an upcoming
crowdsourcing event on February 22nd that is part of the AGU Enabling FAIR
Data project.

On behalf of the organizers of this event, I would like to invite you to
attend the event. We would also appreciate it if you could help in sharing
the event's information with your respective communities.

If you have any questions or need further information, please feel welcome
let me, Nancy Hoebelheinrich (nhoebel at kmotifs.com), and Raleigh Martin (

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,

The Enabling FAIR Data project shepherded by the American Geophysical
Union’s (AGU) Data Department and the Research Data Alliance (RDA), and the
ESIP Federation’s Data Management Training (DMT) Working Group are planning
unique crowdsourcing opportunities.  In these crowdsourcing events,
researchers and the research data community will learn more about the kinds
of educational resources that are currently available to teach and  learn
about research data management (RDM) skills, methods, and practices.

The first crowdsourcing event is scheduled for Thursday, February 22nd from
9 am – 10:15 am PST / 12 noon – 1:15 pm EST / 17:00 UTC using ESIP’s GoTo
Meeting / Webinar platform.  Call-in details can be found on the ESIP
Telecon website at:  http://www.esipfed.org/teleconsunder the “DMT
Clearinghouse Crowdsource” entry.

In this first crowdsourcing event, we’ll be searching for educational
resources to add to the DMT Clearinghouse that help enable researchers make
their data FAIR (Findable - Accessible – Interoperable – Reusable) per the
description in the following seminal article:  https://www.nature.c
om/articles/sdata201618 (the Australian National Data Service also has
created an excellent webinar series on the FAIR principles that is
described in the DMT Clearinghouse at the following location:
http://dmtclearinghouse.esipfed.org/node/9907).

Stay tuned for the second event to be scheduled in March where we plan to
map the resources that we’ve found to the FAIR principles, and add them to
the DMT Clearinghouse.

 The goals of the planned event  are to:

·         Develop awareness of the FAIR Data Principles, the Enabling FAIR
Data project, and the Data Management Training Clearinghouse

·         Contribute  to the inventory of educational resources related to
RDM with a focus on Enabling the FAIR data principles, and

·         Generate broader, engaged participation for both projects

Researchers, Librarians, Teaching Data Professionals and Educators from all
science subject domains are welcome.   Join us for one or both events!  You
