Training
As we build the SSH area of the European Open Science Cloud, a key focus for SSHOC is providing training, advice, and educational resources for producers, users, and curators of Social Sciences and Humanities data.
Our training activities are led by a team of expert trainers cherry picked from partner organisations recognised for their world-class know-how in the discovery, use, and management of research data.
