UPSKILLS Two Years on: Teaching about Language Resources and FAIR Data Principles with CLARIN

Abstract

The ongoing technological developments have a major impact on language-related research and professional activities. This highlights an increasing demand for new skills and profiles, as well as a greater focus on making language data and resources open and FAIR. In this paper, we present long-term efforts that address these issues, starting from the Erasmus+ project UPSKILLS (2020– 2023). We specifically focus on follow-up activities at the University of Bologna in collaboration with CLARIN ERIC, proposing a conceptual framework that combines progressive competence development across all study levels with infrastructure-based pedagogy to support disciplinespecific Open Science education. Using CLARIN as a learning environment, lecturers can modernize curricula, improve students’ FAIR data literacy, and improve graduate employability.
