Skills and actions to reward skills acquisition

Chair Name and Organisation

 

Description of the session

 

We now have good frameworks for understanding the skills that researchers and data stewards need to make the most effective use of environments such as EOSC. But there are concerns that, in the absence of suitable reward frameworks, there is not enough incentive for individuals to acquire those skills or for organisations to make it easy for them to do so. After a brief keynote illustrating these issues, the session will describe the roles stakeholders can take to improve realities and perceptions around rewards for skills development and, through discussion, agree actions that stakeholders can and should take as EOSC develops.
