Research support professionals increasingly need to guide researchers through a complex landscape of research data management (RDM) services, repositories, standards, and digital research infrastructures (DRIs). This webinar introduces CESSDA ERIC as a key European research infrastructure for the social sciences and demonstrates how its services, tools, training resources, and community initiatives can support researchers throughout the entire research data lifecycle.

CESSDA provides training resources such as the Data Management Expert Guide (DMEG) and Data Archiving Guide (DAG), as well as services that enable data discovery, reuse, citation, and long-term preservation.

Participants will learn how researchers can discover data through the CESSDA Data Catalogue, use multilingual controlled vocabularies such as ELSST, and benefit from community-driven developments in metadata standards, repository technologies, and trustworthy digital repositories. By the end of the webinar, attendees will be better equipped to signpost researchers towards appropriate European research data services and infrastructures that enhance data management, sharing, discoverability, and reuse.
