    Welcome to this train-the-trainer course on addressing legal and ethical issues relating to European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) use. It's intended for trainers who will include EOSC subjects in their training. It's disciplinarily agnostic and applicable to trainers working with a range of stakeholder groups. It has been adapted from a synchronous workshop that was originally run on 21st-24th November 2022 as part of the EOSC Future project training programme. A link to the full details of the workshop can be found in the supporting resources section.


    Objectives

    This course aims to: 

    • Guide you through some of the main legal and ethical issues relating to the evolving EOSC.
    • Get you ready to guide discussions and deliver training in your own institution.


    Learning outcomes

    The content in this course will prepare you to enable your learners to:

    • Understand ethical and legal issues relating to EOSC services, products, and usage.
    • Be confident in addressing ethical and legal queries on EOSC.
    • Confidently host ethical and legal discussions on EOSC within their institution.


    Course structure

    This course should take you no longer than an hour to compete. For each section we've provided a range of enrichment reading that you can use to broaden your knowledge of ethical and legal issues relating to EOSC, as well as to refresh your understanding of key topics that feed into these issues, such as research data management, Open Science, GDPR and sensitive data.

    These resources can be found in the supporting resources section and are signposted throughout. We recommend you access them in your own time as points of reference to further your learning, as opposed to the designated content throughout the 5 main learning sections of the course itself. 


    Prerequisites

    It is advised that trainers taking this course first complete the 'Introduction to EOSC' module developed for the stakeholder communities in which they train.
