The workshop was organized by the project team of OstData (www.ostdata.de, funded by the German Research Foundation DFG), a project to build up and establish a research data service for East, Central, and Southeast European Studies. The workshop’s topics comprised amongst others:
a) strategies to strengthen the inclusion of research communities in area studies on Eastern, Central, and Southeastern Europe in efforts to build pan-European research data infrastructures, and
b) ideas to widen, and increase recognition for the publication of research data in the humanities and social sciences (for the full program, see here).
