Deliverable location: N/A
The main objective of this deliverable is to widen the user base of FIN-CLARIAH by specifically targeting multimodal societal data researchers when organizing training workshops on different RI tools and data and conducting explicit user monitoring of the facility.
To this end, since the start of 2024 we hosted two training workshops for researchers on the resources of the facility in collaboration with other WPs and organized two participatory workshops for improving services related to the RI, starting first with research data management. The events included:
Both training workshops required participants to be working with or be interested in social media data, while both participatory workshops required participants to be working with social media data and/or visual materials – thus complying in both cases with the aim of this deliverable.
Likewise, given that community engagement should be continuous, it is previewed that more training and/or participatory workshops will be organized during 2025.
Beyond the organization of these events, members of the WP 5.1 also took part in the in-person FIN-CLARIAH Meeting Helsinki organized on June 10, where the goal was to reflect on how SSH research will be affected by AI and how the RI should prepare for this.
FIN-CLARIAH project has received funding from the European Union – NextGenerationEU instrument and is funded by the Academy of Finland under grant number 358720.
