The EOSC EDEN project is creating an expert curation network that will enhance and facilitate curation and digital preservation processes to ensure research data remain FAIR in the long term.

To discuss and lay the foundation of this network, we invite research data curation and digital preservation experts to join us in a 2-day bootstrap workshop to be held on the 1st and 2nd of October 2025 in Leuven, Belgium.

We are looking for approximately 20 experts with:

- Proven expertise in research data curation, quality management, or long-term preservation

- Diverse representation across organizations, repositories, collections, or digital object types

- A commitment to advancing the FAIR+Time and TRUST principles

Apply by 3 July 2025 via: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/eosc-eden-network-application-form

If you and your organization are ready to lead the way in long-term FAIR data practices, this workshop is for you!

You can also use the same form to apply for travel support if you reside and/or work in an EU or Associated Country. Read more on our website: https://eden-fidelis.eu/news/call-applications-european-expert-curation-and-digital-preservation-network-bootstrap-workshop
