Researchers in cultural studies disciplines and cultural institutions are increasingly confronted with the need to sustainably secure their digital research data. In this presentation, we will outline different approaches that have been developed in order to provide scholars with an infrastructure and sustainable support throughout the data life circle. We will present different solutions and examples on how open and FAIR research data is being managed in the humanities.

This session is a workshop whose goal is to help you doing your literature search in an open environment. We will present different search tools and show you how to use them. This training include practice time to allow you to search open access literature in your field.
