Current Challenges
Data management and metadata
inclusion are not part of “normal
scientific practice”
• One way to make a change in
research culture is to change
education
• There are specific courses for
this – but data management is
not yet part of normal course
work.
Why EUDAT?
• EUDAT is a good partner of U. Helsinki and has
readily available service for this kind of small
data submission (B2SHARE)
• Specific benefits are also that B2SHARE is
actually working system (not a course “play
system”) and thus use in the courses give
direct transferrable skill for the student.
The expected future impact
• The use of data submission as a normal part of
the scientific process is a key thing in any
science education dealing with data. Such
service could then have potential for wider
use.
• The EUDAT support for B2SHARE are other
associated services (authentication etc) are
very important.
