DTL PLAN OF APPROACH 2015 UPDATE NOV 2015 DTL PAC mee*ng Nov 13th 2015

2015: IMPLEMENT DTL AS NL-WIDE PLATFORM DTL network and partnership further strengthened n n Network and formal partnership extended § ambition: 35+ partners in 2015 § strategic alliance with technology & sector initiatives n Funding base strengthened Data § for core team: grow to 65% funding by partners § generate (leads for) external funds for team & partners n Involvement of network strengthened § local DTL teams, IGs/WGs, PAC & SAC, annual meeting Technologies Focus for 2015 n n Strengthen link among DTL ‘hotels’ and secure 3 rd call n External funding for ELIXIR-NL coordination & services n DTL/ELIXIR-NL as LS data expertise and infrastructure Learning layer in NL-health infrastructure n DTL (FAIR) data stewardship expertise network ready for NWO and EC guidelines, and funding (5%) n Build ICT4LS programme: LS on board of ICT roadmap

DTL DATA Ambition 2015 Overall aims Establish a broad data expert network across 1 – Network of accessible data expert • institutes and sectors, well-connected to groups and data infrastructure facilities international initiatives connected across DTL Partnership Develop a common sustainable approach to • overview of ‘data capabilities and capacities’ • data stewardship & data integration available across sectors and technology areas; first IG/WGs implemented on common themes; • Stimulate platform technologies, standards and • regular focus meetings on common challenges; • training in LS big data management network of data & software engineers established • Guide development of a federated LS data • to stimulate collaboration on common technology infrastructure (incl. e-infrastructure, data 2 – DTL data stewardship operational resources, tools, standards, courses) common DTL (FAIR) data stewardship approach • worked out, implemented in first projects, and Budgetary considerations 2015 basic tools assembled from partner groups coordinated FAIR Data Team established across • major LS data projects and FAIR data approach Personnel communicated among DTL expert groups/hotels. 1 fte – senior data manager (ELIXIR) • 1 fte FAIR data PL ( • 3 - ELIXIR-NL basis for LS data approach 0.x fte sector coordinator & DTL ‘PALs’ • 0.2 fte – head of node ELIXIR (external funding) ELIXIR-NL connects NL international-grade projects • • 0.2 fte – ELIXIR-NL project secretary • on LS data stewardship & integration joint projects/funding applications realised in • Other collaboration with international groups travel (international) DTL FAIR data stewardship accepted in ELIXIR/RDA • • meetings plus NWO and EC • first external funding for coordination and services •

DTL TECHNOLOGIES Ambition 2015 Overall aims 1 – Enhanced access to DTL associated Establish cross-disciplinary network of • technology & data expert facilities technology facilities, developers and service providers in academia & industry All DTL-associated facilities and expert groups have • an updated ‘deep’ profile on the DTL web portal. Enable ease of access to DTL-associated • First top-group of open facilities engaged in • technology expertise and facilities, and link harmonising their data approach. Goal: FAIR data them to promote integrated projects and FAIR stewardship adopted in the majority of the DTL data stewardship associated facilities and expert groups by 2016. Focus meetings organized on cross-technology Facilitate a process to consolidate high quality • • experimentation and data integration plus on research infrastructures across the DTL ‘quality, access and sustainability models for partnership, involving the partners, technology technology facilities. communities and funders. DTL involved in design of NL cross-ESFRI /cross- • sector agendas on research infrastructures Budgetary considerations 2015 2 – Active participation in designing ZonMw/ NWO hotel calls 2015/16 and secured funding Personnel DTL co-designs hotel call 2016 with NWO/ZonMw, • 0.5 fte – Senior infrastructure manager • using lessons learned in 2013/14 and 2014/15.

Other Funding secured for future calls, and successful • travel (international) • lobby to broaden the hotel concept to other meetings • NWO/ZonMw calls (for instance VENI/VIDI/VICI).

DTL LEARNING Overall aims Ambition 2015 Establish training expertise and capacity • 1 – NL-network of training coordinators & experts network across the DTL community and mobilise Active training WGs established, related to selected • in international initiatives. priority themes Big Data and FAIR Data stewardship Strategic collaboration established with BioSB, the Liaise with graduate and research schools, • • new research school on bioinformatics and systems (post-) HBO programmes and industry biology. Alliances formed with other schools in DTL Build advanced training portfolio, with focus on • community novel technologies and on LS data integration DTL organises cross-UMC data training workforces as • and stewardship part of the NFU data4lifescience initiative Help establish sustainable funding mechanisms • DTL involved in ELIXIR-EU training coordination • for training and education 2 – Data-related courses set up/co-organised Budgetary considerations 2015 Training track ‘LS Data expert’ worked out • Workshops & courses (co-)organised (examples): • Personnel DTL-BioSB tandem offers broad portfolio of • 0.3 fte – Senior education manager (in kind • data-related courses in NL RadboudUMC) ELIXIR Data Carpentry Hackaton & workshop • 0.2 fte – DTL Office • Big data workshop (with SURFsara) • 0.x fte – BioSB Office support (in kind) • Workshop Galaxy & Cloud (with WUR) • Several FAIR data BYODs • Other Metabolomics courses with NMC • Travel (international) • Development course directory • 3 – Comprehensive DTL course portal Training-/workshop-associated costs (organisation, • Course Directory v2.0 (www.dtls.nl/courses/) location, catering, venues, ..) •

DTL COMMUNI(TY/CATION) Ambition 2015 Overall aims Build a community around the key DTL themes • 1 – DTL community approach implemented (connecting existing communities) Interest / Working group model & DTL ‘PALs’ • implemented through pilot Facilitate DTL Partners in exchange of • technology expertise and challenges to drive Regular meetings & events (co)organised across • innovation and reduce redundancy the DTL community Co-organisation of cross-ESFRI event NL-Health • Create visibility of activities and collective • ECCB2016 organisation co-prepared with BioSB • capacities of the DTL partnership Promote DTL as the collective platform for life • 2 – Communication approach implemented sciences data & technology information Communication plan for DTL partnership • developed and implemented Budgetary considerations 2015 Regular news, active social media approach & • basic communication material available Personnel 3 – DTL portal offers overview of life science 0.8 fte – Community/Communication support • data & technology capabilities of DTL partners Portal supports DTL hub and nodes approach: NL- • Other overview of expertise, facilities, courses, events, website, portal & forum development • jobs and news, plus specific pages per partner; all meetings and events • better profiled, with enhanced search module.
