Overview

Research performing organisations (RPOs) can play a critical role in enabling the researchers they employ to adhere with good research data management practices (RDM) and to ensure that the outputs they produce are FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable). RPOs’ ability to support researchers in these areas depends on the availability of hard and soft infrastructures as well as policies and joined up workflows. But, how do you know if your organisation is providing the right environment? 

This half day workshop, delivered in partnership between RDA Europe and DCC, will introduce participants to the concept of self-assessment of their organisations’ capabilities to support RDM and the production and reuse of FAIR data. The workshop will introduce two methodologies that can be used to carry out self assessments: the Digital Curation Centre’s Research Infrastructure Self Evaluation Framework (RISE) and the Assessing capability maturity and engagement with FAIR-enabling practice (ACME-FAIR) rubrics developed through the FAIRsFAIR project. The workshop will provide participants with practical advice on implementing a self-assessment effectively, interpreting the results, and planning for improvement.

VAT & Invoicing – Please Read Before Selecting Your Ticket

This training is subject to EU VAT rules.

We offer two ticket types, depending on your location and VAT status:

• Non-Belgian organisations – Price excl. VAT

Select this ticket only if you are either:

• A company/organisation/freelancer established in the EU (but outside Belgium) and can provide a valid VAT number, or
• A company/organisation/freelancer based outside the EU (e.g. UK, US, etc.).
• In these cases, no VAT will be charged: the reverse charge mechanism applies for EU organisations with a valid VAT number, and services to non-EU businesses are outside the scope of EU VAT.

If you don’t have a valid VAT number, please select the ticket inclusive VAT.

Belgian organisations & ALL individuals – Price incl. 21% VAT

Select this ticket if you are:

• A company/organisation/freelancer based in Belgium, or
• A private individual participant based in any country, or
• A company/organisation/freelancer based outside Belgium, inside EU without a valid VAT number.

Note: For participants from other EU countries without valid VAT number, the VAT rate may differ from the Belgian rate. Due to the different VAT approaches in different countries, we might need to contact you after registration to clarify the correct VAT treatment and, if necessary, adjust your invoice.

All participants will receive an official VAT invoice after registration based on the information provided.

If you’re unsure which ticket applies to you, please contact us at eu.financial.officer@rda-foundation.org before completing your registration.
