The full program of the event (in Polish) can be found here.

The webinar was part of the project ‘Disciplinary Repositories of Open Research Data,’ carried out by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling UW in partnership with the Robert Zajonc Institute for Social Studies (University of Warsaw), the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. The project is funded by a grant from the Operational Program Digital Poland (POPC), Axis II E-government and open government, Sub-activity 2.3.1 Digital access to public sector information from administrative sources and resources of science. Total amount of the grant is PLN 4,998,889.

The 4^th edition of Pomeranian Open Science Conference was held online on April 14-16, 2021.

The Conference programme included the following topics:

• Organizational and legal aspects of research data dissemination
• Tools and repositories for research data
• Professionalizing data stewardship
• Research data sharing across scientific disciplines
• Projects and initiatives enabling research data sharing

During the Conference, Dr. Wojciech Fenrich (University of Warsaw) presented the project „Disciplinary Repositories for Open Data.” The result of the project is, among others, launching Social Data Repository – the platform through which the data collections of our Archive are currently available.

On March 18, 2021, the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives, CESSDA ERIC (cessda.eu), together with the Polish Social Data Archive (PADS) and the Qualitative Data Archive at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (ADJ) organised an online event titled ‘CESSDA Data Day 2021’.

CESSDA brings together social science data archives across Europe, with the aim of promoting the results of social science research and supporting national and international research and cooperation. Currently, 22 European countries are members of CESSDA ERIC, while 13 countries, including Poland, have partner status. PADS and ADJ actively support the idea of Poland joining CESSDA in order to make the empirical achievements of Polish social sciences more widely available and to promote them internationally.
