Q&A and Wrap-up Project kick-off: RIGHTS: Responsible Implementation of Gathering, Handling, and Treating Sensitive Individual Digital Traces Thematic Digital Competence Center Social Sciences & Humanities 7 October 2025, University of Amsterdam www.tdcc.nl The TDCC ●What is the Thematic Digital Competence Center Social Sciences & Humanities (TDCC-SSH)? ○🌐 Networking ○📈 Helping to broker NWO funding through dedicated calls ●Our role in creating this project ○🔗 Community-involving project creation ●Our role now that the project runs Our role during the project - NWO vs. TDCC ●Project progress - Official reporting is toward NWO, we will check-in with you for some lightweight reporting ○Questions about project admin should be directed to [email protected] ●Acknowledgements - Make sure to add acknowledgement statements for TDCC to all your communications and announcements Some other things ●Make use of TDCC-SSH Zenodo Community! ●Please keep us updated informally about developments, milestones, events - [email protected] ○If you want us to spread the word further to our network via our very active mailing list, reach out to us ●We’re excited about the project, good luck! 🎈 Zenodo Mailing list TDCC-SSH Introduction Why RIGHTS Matters •Sensitive digital trace data (e.g., platform activity, app logs, interactions) are vital for SSH research •Yet, current FAIR infrastructures do not adequately support sensitive, individual-level data •RIGHTS addresses this gap by developing operational standards for responsible and FAIR data use WP2: Archival & Sharing Protocols Lead: Research Engineer + Legal Team | Timeline: Months 12–18 •Deliverables: –Secure data access protocol via SANE –DANS archiving protocol –ODISSEI & CLARIAH integration for metadata visibility •Focus: FAIR data pipeline ensuring privacy and accessibility. WP3: Dissemination & Capacity Building •Lead: Project Coordinator & Data Stewards | Timeline: Months 18–24 •Deliverables: –Workshops for Data Stewards and ERBs (≥10 universities) –FAIR data training for SSH researchers –Promotion of open-source software and documentation via datadonation.eu Collaboration Tools & Communication •Suggested Tools: –Microsoft Teams (project communication) -> alternative: Slack (thoughts?) –OneDrive / Research Drive (file storage) –GitHub (code & documentation) •Meeting Structure: –Bi-weekly joint D3I/RIGHTS/SSHOC-NL coordination calls (core team) –Quarterly extended RIGHTS meetings (all partners + TDCC) –Annual TDCC check-in event Timeline & Milestones •Months 1–6: Legal & Ethical Frameworks finalized •Months 6–12: Documentation Assistants developed •Months 12–18: FAIR Archival Protocols integrated •Months 18–24: Dissemination Workshops & Final Outputs •Final deliverables feed into TDCC dissemination and national FAIR data infrastructure. Discussion: Making RIGHTS Useful for the SSH Community •How can RIGHTS outputs best support TDCC and related projects? •What synergies with D3I and SSHOC-NL (+ other projects?) should we strengthen? •How can we ensure our outputs are practical and sustainable beyond the project? •How do we make the frameworks flexible enough for different SSH research contexts? Next Steps & Wrap-Up •Next Steps: –Confirm WP leads and collaboration routines –Integrate RIGHTS updates into bi-weekly D3I calls –Plan first quarterly extended meeting (January) –Get started on WP1! •Contact: –Felicia Loecherbach –[email protected]
