[coccoliths] Invitation to participate in a community survey on research (meta)data quality

[Jens Weiser]

Dear Cocco-enthusiasts,

below I am forwarding an invitation to a survey on research (meta)data 
quality from EOSC EDEN - a EU Horizon project I am involved in. This is 
not cocco-specific, but we all rely on high quality scientific data an 
the ability to re-use it, so I wanted to share this here.


Dear preservation professionals and researchers,

Have you encountered any issues when it comes to sharing, finding, 
accessing, and working with research data? If you are:
a researcher who works with data on a daily basis,
a professional who manages or curates research data
a professional who works with the technical infrastructure required for 
managing or curating research data,
then your perspective on the future of FAIR long-term data preservation 
is invaluable.

We invite you to fill out a survey 
<https://nettskjema.no/a/eosc-eden-survey-2026> that investigates how 
research communities work with research data, and how data archives and 
repositories work with the different aspects that contribute to the 
quality of research (meta)data.

The Horizon Europe-funded EOSC EDEN project <https://eden-fidelis.eu/> 
investigates and develops strategies for curation and long-term 
preservation of research data. One important aspect of the project is to 
collect insights from researchers and preservation professionals, with 
the aim of turning identified challenges into actionable improvements. 
Your professional insights will support our work on:
Improving and standardising curation and preservation practices
Developing the services and tools needed to enhance digital preservation 
strategies
Enabling the reusability of research data
Bridging knowledge across disciplines
Equipping researchers with the knowledge to answer central research 
questions

Whether you work at a repository or in research, in a large organisation 
or a small team, and whatever your discipline or career stage, we would 
like to hear from you. Multiple responses from the same organisation are 
welcome, and we encourage you to share information about the survey with 
your professional networks.

Filling out the survey should take between 20-30 minutes to complete, 
and we will keep it open until Monday, 31st August, 2026.

You can find the survey here: 
https://nettskjema.no/a/eosc-eden-survey-2026.

For any questions about the survey or the work of EOSC EDEN, please 
contact Helene N. Andreassen (Project Task Lead) at 
helene.n.andreassen at uit.no.

Thank you for sharing your experience — your contribution is greatly 
valued!

Sincerely,
Camilla Hagen Blixhavn, UiT The Arctic University of Norway
– On behalf of EOSC EDEN Work Package 3 “Discipline-specific 
requirements, validation, and future use”
