DESCRIPTION:\nOSPARK Online Workshop\nCo-organised by OLS and DRA\, the O
 SPARK Bootcamp aims to support open research ambassadors to create visibil
 ity for their open research initiatives through outreach and marketing. It
  consists of a 6-week interactive online course and a two-day in-person wo
 rkshop.\nThis workshop forms part of the OSPARK research programme. We are
  using the information we gather to inform the development of the OSPARK B
 ootcamp.\nNo prior communication or marketing experience needed — just b
 ring your curiosity and commitment to supporting open and FAIR research.\n
 What does this workshop involve?\nThis workshop will start with a ~1 hour
  training session on digital outreach\, marketing\, and communications fo
 r open research advocates. This will involve learning about key concepts a
 nd how you can apply them to your own open research initiative.\nWhether y
 ou're involved in a library\, IT service\, data management team\, research
  support office\, or run your own local open research initiative\, this wo
 rkshop will help you:\n\n\nUnderstand common challenges in outreach and en
 gagement\;\n\n\nLearn practical strategies for promoting research support 
 services\;\n\n\nExplore examples of effective communication and community-
 building.\n\n\nThe workshop will then move to ~1 hour discussion groups. 
 You will be randomly placed into breakout rooms with 1-9 other participant
 s and a facilitator. We will provide you with a notes template to help to 
 guide your discussion. We hope to collect qualitative data about:\n\nyour 
 experiences of outreach activities for open research initiatives\;\nbarrie
 rs to engaging in outreach activities\;\nyour training needs in relation t
 o outreach\, marketing\, and communications for open research initiatives.
 \n\nWhile data collection is an important part of the discussion group\, w
 e also hope that it will provide you with a space to connect with peers\, 
 exchange ideas\, and learn from each other.\nWhere can I find more informa
 tion about the research?\nPlease read the participant information sheet fo
 r this study before registering. It will provide you with more information
  about how and why the research is being conducted\, including data sharin
 g policies.\nThe full study protocol\, materials\, and data management pla
 n are available on Zenodo.\nWhat if I would rather join the full training?
 \nThe third OSPARK Bootcamp will take place online and in Zurich\, Switzer

  Bootcamp is developed in collaboration of the Digital Research Academy an
 d OLS and supported by the OSCARS consortium to strengthen open science c
 apacity across Europe.\n\nOSCARS is a four-year EU-funded project that str

 chievements of world-class European research infrastructures in the ESFRI 
 roadmap and beyond into lasting interdisciplinary FAIR data services and w
 orking practices. The project aims to strengthen the role of the Science C
 lusters in the ERA by developing domain-based Competence Centres and by fo
