Competences and Skills for Data and Research Infrastructures: Creating a basis for international cooperation

In Europe the EU-funded EDISON project is formally analysing the skills and competences needed to conduct data science in a professional manner across all disciplines, but particularly in the context of research infrastructures. At the same time the project is investigating the skills and competences that universities and other teaching and training establishments are currently offering and planning to offer in the future. As part of the RDA 7^th Plenary in Tokyo, the EDISON project team are hosting a welcome session for people from Japan, and elsewhere, interested in the challenges for data and computing training and education who would like to hear what is happening in Europe and also meet some of the people involved in this work.

The goal of this event is to bring together a range of experts and strategists from diverse areas who are all interested in the global challenges for education and training for Data Science. Members of some of RDA’s related Interest and Working Groups will also contribute and present on-going findings as a contribution to the discussions. In particular the Interest Group on Education and Training on handling of research data will contribute to the event.
