Completed International Projects

ARIADNEplus
ARIADNEplus (2019–2022) was a four year long, EU-funded program within the H2020 framework. The purpose of the project was to further develop the results and widen the scope of the archaeological infrastructure that was created in the ARIADNE (Advanced Research Infrastructure for Archaeological Dataset Networking in Europe, 2013–2017) project. ARIADNEplus brought together and integrated existing archaeological data infrastructures in and outside of Europe.
During the course of the project, SND provided expertise and knowledge that contributed to creating the project portal, the development of standards, controlled vocabularies, guidance, and guides to good practice. SND will continue to participate in the created network of experts, with the goal to continue to make national and international research data FAIR. The result of the project will continue to be developed through the organization ARIADNE Research Infrastructure AISBL, where SND is a party.

EOSC-Nordic
EOSC-Nordic (2019–2022) was an EU-funded project and part of the creation of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). The main objective of EOSC is to build a global platform for making all types of research data accessible to researchers and other stakeholders across the world. The portal will contain services and tools for storage, training, data management, and data analysis. EOSC-Nordic facilitated the coordination of Nordic and Baltic resources to achieve greater harmonization of services and policies. The project ended in November 2022, and the Swedish participants were SND, GGBC, SNIC, and SUNET.

SSHOC - Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud
SSHOC (2019–2022) was an EU-funded cluster project in the EOSC-hub, with the objective to create a European open cloud service for the social sciences and humanities, providing data, tools, and educational resources for its users. The project was a collaboration between 47 European organizations and managed by CESSDA. SSHOC was part of the EU initiative Horizon 2020 and ended in 2022.

SEADDA - Saving European Archaeology from the Digital Dark Age
SEADDA (2019–2022) was an EU-funded project with the objective to create a network of European experts in order to discuss the future of archaeological data in an increasingly digital world. The project aimed to share training and knowledge from countries with more data management resources to countries with limited or non-existent resources. SEADDA was so successful that it was invited to apply for a COST Innovators Grant and became the first project in the humanities to be awarded the grant through the SHADE project.

CESSDA SaW - Consortium of European Social Science Data Archive - Strengthening and widening
The primary ambition of the H2020 project CESSDA SaW (2015–2017) was to establish conditions for, and initiate a movement towards, a strengthened and expanded CESSDA, capable of supporting the research needs of the next generation of social scientists wherever in Europe they may be, or beyond.

ARIADNE - Advanced Research Infrastructure for Archaeological Dataset Networking in Europe
The purpose of the EU-funded project ARIADNE (2013–2017) was to bring together existing research data infrastructures so that researchers from different countries could use European archaeological digital data sets across borders.

Making Nordic Health Data Visible
Making Nordic Health Data Visible (2014–2016) was a collaboration between the Nordic data archives with funding from NordForsk. The project objective was to assess the prerequisites for facilitating a common framework for sharing metadata and data – a portal for Nordic social and health research data, focusing primarily on data produced by researchers, research projects, and research institutions, as well as register data.

Europeana Cloud - eCloud
The Europeana Cloud project (2013–2016) was coordinated by the Europeana Foundation. The purpose was to establish a cloud-based system for the cultural heritage database Europeana and its content providers. Europeana Cloud developed new content, new metadata, a new linked storage system, new tools and services for researchers and a new platform – Europeana Research. There is an urgent need for a cheaper, more sustainable infrastructure capable of storing both metadata and content. Through such an infrastructure, researchers will be able to work with innovative research and analyses of digitised European cultural heritage materials.

SERSCIDA - Support for Establishment of National/Regional Social Sciences Data Archives
SERSCIDA (2012–2014) was a strategic project for supporting the cooperation and exchange of knowledge in social science data archiving. The project had participants from the EU countries associated with the Council of European Social Sciences Data Archives (CESSDA) and three of the Western Balkan Countries (Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia and Hercegovina).

DASISH - Data Service Infrastructure for the Social Science and Humanities
DASISH (2012–2014) brought together all 5 ESFRI research infrastructure initiatives in the social sciences and humanities (CLARIN, DARIAH, CESSDA, ESS, and SHARE). The objective was to determine areas of possible synergies in the infrastructure development and to work on a few concrete joint activities.

DwB - Data without Boundaries
DwB (2011–2015) was funded by the European Commission through the 7th Framework Programme. The project aimed to create an integrated model for accessing official data, regardless of national boundaries.

CESSDA PPP - Preparatory Phase Project for a Major Upgrade of the Council of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA) Research Infrastructure
The two-year CESSDA PPP project (2008–2009) planned the future development of the CESSDA RI and focused on tackling and resolving a number of strategic, financial, and legal issues. The purpose was to ensure that European social science and humanities researchers have access to the data resources they require to conduct research of the highest quality, irrespective where the researcher or the data are located in the European Research Area.
