INTRODUCTION

FOSTER aims to set in place sustainable mechanisms for EU researchers to FOSTER OPEN

SCIENCE in their daily workflow, supporting researchers optimizing their research visibility and

impact and the adoption of EU open access policies in line with the EU objectives on Responsible

Research & Innovation.

More specifically, the FOSTER objectives are to:

• Support different stakeholders, especially young researchers, in adopting open access

in the context of the European Research Area (ERA) and in complying with the open access

policies and rules of participation set out for Horizon 2020;

• Integrate open access principles and practice in the current research workflow by

targeting the young researcher training environment;

• Strengthen the institutional training capacity to foster compliance with the open access

policies of the ERA and Horizon 2020 (beyond the FOSTER project);

• Facilitate the adoption, reinforcement and implementation of open access policies from

other European funders, in line with the EC’s recommendation, in partnership with

PASTEUR4OA project.

As stated in the project Description of Work (DoW) these objectives will be pursued and

achieved through the combination of 3 main activities: content identification, repacking and

creation; creation of the FOSTER Portal; delivery of training.

The training programme, managed by Work Package (WP4), must assure regional/country and

disciplinary diversity, consider the different training approaches, with a focus on training trainers

(or multipliers), and use the content provided by WP2 and the platform provided by WP3. Within

this training programme at least five self‐learning courses, at least five moderated elearning

courses and at least 20 face-to-face training events for academic staff and students, research

administrators and librarians, research project managers and staff working in funding bodies.

The training programme and calendar will be organized and managed in two parts, according to

the duration of the project. The first part, described in this document, concerns the training

activities that will occur in 2014, and will be focused on face-to-face training, especially

community training events selected on the first open training call issued at the project kick-off.

The second part, for the period of 2015, will combine face-to-face with elearning and self-

learning, all supported on the FOSTER portal, and will include a new round of community training

events selected on the second open training call (to be issued in October 2014), with courses

and other events directly organized by the FOSTER consortium, based on the identification of

training needs and opportunities and also suggestions and feedback from the community.

The axis of analysis considered in the definition of the training programme, both for community

initiatives and courses organized by FOSTER, are represented in following graphic:

Figure 1 - Training Activities Schema

* When applicable.

Region – The European member states

Stakeholders – As defined on the project description, the key target audience are: academic

staff (researchers and students), institutions (administrator and librarians), research project

managers and policy-makers.

Topic – The three main topics considered are: Open Science; Open Access and Open Data

Training approach – The different training approaches considered are local training, blended-

learning and e-Learning (that includes self-learning and moderated courses),

Cost – The axis cost is only analysed when applying to the course calls or when partners of the

project participate based on the available budget.

This document is organized in three main sections describing the training programme. In the

first section the results of the first Call for hosting FOSTER training events are described. The

second section refers to the courses directly organized by FOSTER, and in the last section we

present a general overview and analysis of all the training events attached to FOSTER already

planned for 2014. The detailed calendar of those events is inserted at the end.

COMMUNITY COURSES (SELECTED COURSES FROM CALL 1)

In February 2014 FOSTER project announced an open call to host FOSTER training events on

open access, open data and open science from June to December 2014. The aim of the call was

to support different stakeholders, especially young researchers, in practicing open access, open

data sharing and open science.

45 training proposals have been submitted from 19 countries (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,

Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Lithuania, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal,

Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland and the UK).

The evaluation and selection process of the received proposals was based on the following

criteria:

- Aims and topics of the proposed events, targeting open access and open science

practices, in particular in relation to publicly funded research in Horizon 2020 and

national funding schemes;

- Outreach potential (number of relevant stakeholders directly involved on the training

event);

- Potential for “multiplication” (institutional or disciplinary) of train the trainers

programmes;

- Level of engagement with Graduate Schools and embedding in standard curriculum;

- National/regional diversity;

- Disciplinary diversity;

- Cost-efficiency.

The evaluation process was conducted in two stages. In the first stage PSC members and task

leaders from WP4 (CSIC, DTU, EIFL, HATII-DCC, LIBER, UGOE and UMinho) have

independently evaluated and scored each proposal.

In the second stage, after collecting the individual evaluations, and producing a global evaluation

score, resulting from the mean of the individual scores, an online meeting was held to discuss

the evaluation of each proposal, harmonize and consolidate it, and, taking into consideration

the financial limit of 100.000,00€ for supporting courses in the first call, select the proposals that

will receive funding.

Resulting from this process, 19 proposal from 14 countries (Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark,

France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and the

UK) were selected. These 19 training proposals involve a total of 66 initiatives, as some of them

are series of courses.

With this level of community support and participation the FOSTER training programme for 2014

will encompass a significant number (almost doubling the initial goal) of both engaging and

instructive events, reaching out to diverse disciplinary communities and countries in the

European Research Area.

The complete list of project proposals is listed on the attachment 1.

The calendar of supported training initiatives is the following:

The aim of the project is to build, through training, a community of dedicated

experts and

trainers on OA and Open Science, able to further promote these issues. To

achieve this goal, we are going to organize a two-day training for future

trainers from five academic centers (Wrocław, Warszawa, Poznań, Kraków

and Gdańsk). Each of them will afterwards conduct two workshops for

researchers in their home institutions. The workshops will target in particular

young researchers and academics and young librarians - in our experience

they constitute the most motivated groups to implement changes to

scientific communication.

It is likely that more training activities will occur until the end of 2014, particularly attached with

public events or conferences.

The geographical distributions of the already planned events is shown in the following map.

GLOBAL ANALYSIS

Considering the overall training programme, including the courses resulting from the first

community call, and the other training initiatives already planned, it seems a well-balanced

programme, with a wide geographical coverage, reaching out to the main stakeholders, and

addressing all the relevant topics, as shown below. So, overall, the training programme for 2014

is very appropriate and aligned with the project mission and objectives.

There is a large number of “traditional” training (courses/workshops with presentations), but

there are also several innovative and interesting approaches like the two day courses for trainers

on five academic centres in Poland or the 19 workshops organized by the Ruđer Bošković

Institute from Croatia with a big potential of multiplication.

CONCLUSION

The FOSTER training programme for 2014 meets, and even goes beyond in some aspects, the

initial objectives settled on the Description of Work. With 28 training initiatives (totalling more

than 75 training events/courses), taking place in 17 European countries, the training programme

of 2014 only, already achieves the two year objectives for face-to-face training (20 courses).

The 2014 training programme, not only provides regional/country and disciplinary diversity, but

has also a big outreach potential, with the direct involvement of several hundreds of

participants, which in some cases will be able to multiply the training to their institutions and/or

communities, reaching out to even a bigger audience of participants on the European Research

Area.

The FOSTER training programme for 2014 includes significant training actions for all the

relevant stakeholders initially identified, with a strong focus (according to the project

objectives) on researchers, especially young researchers.

Based on the evaluation of the training activities of this initial training programme, and on the

results of the second call to the community to host/organize FOSTER training events which will

be released in October, a new and updated training programme will be prepared by the end

2014, for the training activities to be carried out in 2015.

The 2015 training programme will try to reach to some important countries (like Italy), not yet

covered on the 2014 programme, and will use the FOSTER portal (provided by WP3) not only to

support the distance training courses and activities (e-learning and self-learning courses) but to

complement and enrich the face-to-face activities as well.
