The Research Council of Norway has for the first time issued a policy and guidelines for open access to publicly funded research data. Read the report here. For infrastructure efforts, such as CLARIN, it is an important signal that the Research Council of Norway state that no other restrictions on the use for research purposes should apply than those following from confidentiality, privacy or ethical considerations. Hopefully, the new guidelines will encourage even more researchers to make their data available to the research community.
UNINETT Sigma invites Norwegian researchers to the 1st NorStore Research Data Management training seminar in Oslo on Wednesday 7 January 2015. Laura Janda informs us that the Tromsø Repository of Language and Linguistics/TROLLing now has a promotional video, explaining why linguists need a place to store and share their data and statistical code. The University of Copenhagen has been awarded a NordForsk grant for the promotion of Nordic cooperation in the context of CLARIN. The grant will be used mainly to organize Nordic workshops. CLARIAH, a consortium of Humanities research institutes, is to receive a grant of 12 million euros from The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). The grant will fund the development of a digital infrastructure that combines diverse data sets and software tools from various humanities’ disciplines, and to provide user-friendly tools to search through these data sets and make them searchable.

A report commissioned by the Research Council of Norway finds that most researchers are willing to share their research data, but obstacles remain and incentives are needed. CLARINO er nevnt blant 50 prosjekter på Forskningsrådets veikart for infrastruktur. |
