Open science refers to all things open in research and scholarly communication: from publications and research data to code, models and methods as well as quality evaluation based on open peer review. However, getting started with implementing open science might not be as straightforward for all stakeholders. For example, what do research funders expect in terms of open access to publications and/or research data? Where and how to publish research data? How to ensure that research results are reproducible? These are all legitimate questions and, in particular, early career researchers may benefit from additional guidance and training. In this paper we review the activities of the European-funded FOSTER project which organized and supported a wide range of targeted trainings for open science, based on face-to-face events and on a growing suite of e-learning courses. This article reviews the approach and experiences gained from the first two years of the project. The FOSTER project has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no 612425. The authors gratefully acknowledge the contributions of all project partners to the design and implementation of the FOSTER project.

Nuo 2006 m. kuriama tarptautinė mokslinė duomenų bazė Lituanistika, finansuojama Europos Sąjungos struktūrinių fondų lėšomis. 2011 m. rugpjūčio 25 d. pasirašyta tęstinio projekto „Duomenų bazė Lituanistika“ (projekto kodas VP1-3.1-ŠMM-02-V-02-003) trijų metų finansavimo ir administravimo sutartis tarp Europos socialinio fondo agentūros ir Lietuvos mokslo tarybos. Pristatyta duomenų bazės Lituanistika, kaupiančios ir skleidţiančios patikrintą, kokybišką informaciją apie Lietuvoje ir pasaulyje atliekamus lituanistikos mokslinius tyrimus, pagrindiniai uţdaviniai, veiklos ir plėtros gairės. Aptarta informacinių ir ryšių (informacinių komunikacinių) technologijų taikymas šioje duomenų bazėje, jos sąsajos su Lietuvos virtualaus universiteto programos LABT uţdavinio projektiniais produktais ir kitomis mokslinių tyrimų infrastruktūromis. The International Research Database Lituanistika has been created since 2006 funded by European Union Structural Funds. On the 25th of August 2011 the three year financing and administration agreement of the continued project “Database Lituanistika” (project code VP1-3.1-ŠMM-02-V-02-003) was signed between the European Social Fund Agency and the Research Council of Lithuania. The article presents the main objectives, activities and developmental guidelines of the Database Lituanistika, which accumulates and disseminates verified, high quality information about Lithuanian studies carried out in Lithuania and abroad. Application of information communication technologies in this database, the correlations of this database with other information systems and activities of the Lithuanian Virtual University as well as the programme of the Lithuanian Academic Libraries Network is discussed in detail.
