We support NFDI consortia in developing and delivering training and outreach activities around Data Management Plans (DMPs), Software Management Plans (SMPs), and RDMO. Together, we identify what your community needs, develop suitable formats and materials, and equip you to engage researchers and other target groups effectively.

🎓 Training and Capacity Building

Train-the-Trainer (TtT)

Using our modular Train-the-Trainer concept, we help you build the skills to design and deliver your own DMP and RDMO training. The concept covers different experience levels, from DMPs fundamentals to more advanced and strategic topics.

Unlike standard workshops, our TtT sessions focus on practical didactic methods and effective knowledge transfer, equipping you with the skills and resources to deliver your own DMP and RDMO training and provide tailored support to your community.

Training Support

Not sure what training your community needs? We can support you in developing tailored DMP, SMP and RDMO training formats, from individual sessions to broader training programmes.

Together, we can adapt content, format and level of detail to your target audience, existing expertise and specific community context.

📣 Community Outreach Support

Effective outreach starts with understanding your community. We assist you in identifying needs, creating opportunities for engagement and finding accessible ways to introduce DMPs, SMPs and RDMO.

Needs assessment

We support you in identifying community needs, knowledge gaps and barriers around DMPs, SMPs and RDMO through surveys, questionnaires and interviews, and in translating the results into targeted training and outreach activities.

Community engagement

Looking for ways to engage your community with DMPs, SMPs and RDMO? We help you develop accessible and engaging outreach formats tailored to your community and context, including:

• Information sessions on DMPs and SMPs showcasing their value to the community
• Live demonstrations of RDMO and its functionalities for collaborative DMP/SMP creation
• Tailored presentations and interactive formats for consortium meetings, conferences and other events
• Other outreach activities developed in response to your consortium’s needs

How to get started?

Apply for an incubator project

An incubator project is a short-term engagement (3–6 months) with a clearly defined goal. We hold regular calls to onboard new consortia.

What your consortium needs to provide

In our Service Cooperation Model we describe in detail what you need to provide in order to implement the service for your consortium.

To ensure effective adoption, your consortium takes the lead in community outreach activities, such as webinars or training sessions, to promote and strengthen the use of DMPs and SMPs within your community. We strongly recommend providing a community-specific DMP or SMP template and integrating RDMO by connecting it to other tools and services relevant to your consortium.
