DataverseNL is a data repository and documentation platform, since 2017 open to researchers of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) and the Protestant Theological University (PThU) to deposit, share and publish research data. It facilitates making your research data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).

Together with DANS, the VU Research Data Support team and the Library of the PThU organise a workshop to inform researchers and staff about the ins and outs of DataverseNL. During this workshop, participants will learn about the application’s features, how to use DataverseNL, and for which data working with DataverseNL is most suitable. Besides an introduction, the workshop will offer hands-on training by DANS-experts, and concludes with time for questions.
This will be an introductory course for all VU and PThU researchers, research assistants and data stewards, no prior knowledge is needed.
