    After a series of successful meetings using a flipped format of pre-recorded presentations followed by synchronous question-and-answer sessions, that allowed time for community members to add and enrich their own experiences, we want to use this plenary to provide opportunities for fresh contributions from our extensive, international, multi-disciplinary IG membership.  
    After a short introductory presentation, we invite the community to share their projects, test their ideas and showcase their deliverables through a series of short presentations designed to appeal to an international audience and to provide multiple opportunities for knowledge-sharing and discussion. These will act as a springboard for developing and coalescing around community-derived next-stage activities necessary for advancing the work of the education and training community in particular, and the data community as a whole. The ETHRD-IG, P19 session will be a knowledge exchange and idea-generating session in which we create a welcoming space for the community to add their own ideas and experiences whilst making new connections with an engaged audience to sustain and benefit the community.

    Meeting objectives
    The objective of this meeting is to gather practitioners involved in education and training on handling research data, from Data Science to Data Stewardship and Research Data Management, to actively learn about and advance current community initiatives.   Contributing to the RDA theme “Data to improve our world”, the ETHRD IG meeting focuses on how our education and training efforts might benefit our world through international, cross-sectoral coordination and cooperation. We can achieve this together through:

    Discovering existing education and training materials that successfully employ innovative or traditional pedagogy and andragogy, and that are use cases of the open sharing and reuse of training materials and their underlying data

    Jointly identifying materials in ways that assist in assessing fitness for use, e.g., audience, goals, required competencies, language. Making this a joint, global effort will help the community to use training to effectively address challenges, and unite disciplines and countries

    Creating and enriching materials so that they can be reused, connected to each other, and understood in context to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of engaging citizens, students, and researchers from diverse background, and overcoming boundaries of countries and disciplines

    Short Group Status
    The ETHRD-IG is a well-established recognised group of long standing, having started in 2013. Through this time we have remained a populous group with a variety of interests, supporting work in multiple areas across a wide community, counting more than 300 members. The IG is a central venue at RDA to exchange and coordinate numerous training activities at RDA and associated European, US and worldwide projects on data related skills development and curricula development. We remain an open group, welcome to new-comers and old-timers, as the work of education and training is never done. 
    Our recent initiatives include:

    Focus group on creating an inventory of repositories for training materials 

    Focus group on creating recommendations for minimal metadata for training materials

    Focus group on creating recommendations for extended documentation for training materials
