    Developing e-learning materials and an online training course on RDM
    In cooperation with three major Estonian universities, free online learning materials in Estonian and English will be developed together with interactive self-tests that require practical skills and techniques. The materials as a whole or as different modules can be integrated into e-courses held by the universities or information literacy e-courses held by the libraries. The aim of the course is to teach the management of the data throughout the research process and the writing of data management plans according to the requirements of Horizon 2020; to introduce principles of sustainable data preservation, as well as different general and discipline-based repositories.
