Training Working Group

Group actions

We recently made a decision to meet every other month instead of every month, as of June 2024. We will skip Aug due to vacations, therefore the next meeting will occur on Sept 3, 2024 (subgroups should maintain their existing meeting schedules).


Role and Purpose of Group

The purpose of the Training Group is to:

  • Ensure that our goals align and build on the DDI Alliance Scientific Work Plan.
  • Introduce people to DDI and improve people's competence in working with DDI.
  • Promote deeper understanding of DDI’s work products by addressing specific topics.
  • Gear training to specific audiences as appropriate (for example, by beginning to set up training materials and events in languages other than English).
  • Develop expertise within the Working Group for carrying out training.
  • Maintain a training library with updated training material in languages other than English for reuse

Meeting Time and Connection Information

The Training Group meets the first Tuesday of the month at 9 am (EST) / 2 pm (UTC) / 3 pm (CET) / 4 pm (CAT/EET) using Zoom.

We recently made a decision to meet every other month instead of every month, as of June 2024. We will skip Aug due to vacations, therefore the next meeting will occur on Sept 3, 2024 (subgroups should maintain their existing meeting schedules).

To join the meeting online please see agenda.

Use your microphone and speakers (VoIP) - a headset is recommended. Please set yourself on mute when you are not speaking to prevent background noises.

  • Contact and set up a meeting to understand what CODATA RDA schools do/teach and what they would be interested in Jennifer Zeiger to ask Laura for any info about background for this.

This questionnaire helps us determine interest and availability of people who are or want to be involved in DDI training related activities, such as webinars, training requests, and more. We plan to share this at least once a year but not more than quarterly, and with new members as they join.
