Call for Rapporteurs
LIBER and Scientific Knowledge Services (SKS) are co-organising a series of five online workshops that will bring together EOSC Stakeholder groups that represent end-users and intermediaries/trainers, research/academic libraries and researchers. The topics that will be covered during the workshops include Architecture, FAIR data, Landscape, Rules of Participation, Sustainability and Skills and Training.
We welcome applications from those who would be interested in acting as rapporteurs for these workshops. Rapporteurs will have the task of 1. capturing the feedback of each workshop in text and images in the form of an intermediary report and/or 2. translating the outcome of each workshop and turning this into a final report. This call is open for rapporteurs of intermediary reports and/or for rapporteurs for the final report. The language of reports is English.
Applicants of all genders, ethnicity and from various backgrounds are welcome. The project supports wide inclusion at a professional and personal level. Early careers are as much welcome as those with a richer experience.
Please also note a related call for speakers here. Applications for a hybrid role (speakers-rapporteurs) are very welcome.
Applicants should possess:
- Previous experience as rapporteur or master degree in Journalism.
- Exceptions could be made for early careers with strong recommendations.
- Very good analytical skills
- Experience in proof-reading scientific reports
- Current or past affiliation with a specific international organization would be an advantage
