There seems to be a lot more focus on FAIR and open science recently, which is great to see indeed! :)
The budget per project is expected to be €50.000-400.000 (plus 25% matched funding requirement), with projects lasting up to 24 months.
Got a project idea about FAIR research data and software in the Social Sciences & Humanities, and you're based in the Kingdom of The Netherlands? Consider joining the TDCC-SSH Project Idea Generator to brainstorm ideas and get more information on our open call!

Occam's razor; they didn't find your stuff or know about your stuff, for some reason...
34 month PDRA position on my Roman Britannia: Mobility and Society project, based with fab project co-lead Dr Sophy Charlton at @york-bioarch.bsky.social - come join our interdisciplinary Cardiff-York team and reshape narratives of the Roman period in Britannia.

The Thematic Digital Competence Centres (TDCC) have announced a new funding opportunity through the TDCC NWO Challenge Call 2026. They invite proposals that address the ambitions and challenges set out in each TDCC roadmap and its recent addendum. Find more information here: edu.nl/xpagh
Ik volg, nog niet geprobeerd, maar ben benieuwd!
I was recently interviewed by @opensciencenl.bsky.social about my work on interoperability in the social sciences and humanities, and why it matters:

Dit is overigens de man die namens FvD zou komen debatteren in het Leidse Onderwijsdebat.
En Volt organiseert een stille tocht omdat deze vent niet gewenst is bij een debat over *inclusief onderwijs*.
Volt zegt het “vrije woord” te beschermen door aangifte te doen tegen een mailactie. Volt komt niet op voor vrije meningsuiting, maar voor het recht van organisatoren om zonder kritiek een debat te organiseren, en het recht van extreem-rechtse partijen om zonder fundamentele kritiek deel te nemen.
Juist omdat Dassen het NOS-klimaatdebat tegen Lidewij de Vos afblies, valt dit me behoorlijk tegen van Volt Leiden.

Vannacht 45 jaar geleden begon de ontruiming van de Pierson.
1981 vond hierna in #Nijmegen de grootste volksopstand in Nederland sinds de Tweede Wereldoorlog plaats.
Een strijd tegen de grote woningnood, sloop en parkeerbeleid.
Super actueel weer dus!
www.depierson.nl is helemaal vernieuwd.
For anyone who's deposited their data at DANS; this is a great opportunity to get some more visibility and impact of your work!
Let them know in the (short!) form below and your data can be highlighted in DANS channels. And hopefully someone will find your data and do cool new stuff with it!
I will give a workshop at this event, where you can build stuff with Lego to learn about interoperability!
So if you want to learn more about the I in FAIR (or just want an excuse to play with Lego), go pre-register below ⬇️
A great read, as usual! :)
Wauw. Een toeslagenouder heeft recht op een dwangsom van 15.000 euro. De overheid weigert te betalen, dus legt de vrouw beslag op een standbeeld uit de tuin van het ministerie (wat een heldin). En vervolgens start de landsadvocaat een zaak tégen deze vrouw. Ze verdient al onze steun.
No gods, no masters, no time, no energy...?
Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".
Het is tijd. En een kleine verhuizing van slechts 10 meter, met grote impact.
Teken alsjeblieft!
The European Association of Archaeologists Executive has worked hard to bury this result inside a long document. But we're going to make this triumph of compassion, common sense & demand for transparency known to all. Help us by sharing. @archagainstaparth.bsky.social @blacktrowel.bsky.social

Fingers crossed!
Interesting to see that 38 years later, we are basically still discussing the same topics, but with new technologies.
I wonder if we're at another peak of the AI hype cycle, and another AI winter is looming....
- a workshop on standardisation; interoperability was already a big topic back then!
- the @caaint.bsky.social conference in 1987, with one of the main topics being 'expert systems', i.e. what we considered SotA Artificial Intelligence at the time, right in between the first and second AI winter
Spotted this newsletter from 1987 (before I was born!) at the @dans-knaw-nwo.bsky.social office.
Opened it on a random page, and found 2 calls for papers that perfectly aligned with my current and previous work:
Registration is now open for #CAA2026! Come join us in Vienna, 31 March - 4 April. Early bird registration closes on 25 Feb so don't miss out! 2026.caaconference.org/registration...
Stop sign in red over the EAA Athens call. In black the text reads: “Save EAA. Vote. Boycott.”
Tired of excuses and obfuscation from the EAA Executive?
Want a collegial and supportive society fit for its members? Then #boycottEAA
Read our call for voting and boycotting below!
