• Recognized need for basic and advanced data skills - researchers need to be empowered to do more with their data
• Without more widespread data handling, data management and data science skills the benefits of the data revolution and open data will not be fully realized.
• UNESCO - 1270 researchers per million. => ~8 Million researchers worldwide
• EOSC HLEG 500K “Data Stewards” (advanced data skills) need in Europe in the next decade.
The Need
![Page 4: Hugh Shanahan - OpenCon Oxford, 1st Dec 2017](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051521/5a64b8a07f8b9aa6148b4687/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• CODATA-RDA schools attempt to provide a foundation for researchers in all of the relevant skills.
• Particular focus on delivering teaching to Low and Middle Countries. Gaps and potential gains most notable here.
• Through line of Open Science, Open Data, and ethical data use.
• Goal - build a common curriculum delivered in many locations.
• Focus on building a community for students to continually leverage.

• As much as possibly build on and blend existing materials and partner with existing projects
• Simple Things, Explained Well
• Aim for core curriculum and easy delivery
• Long term obsolescence
