Dear all, Please see below a message from our EOSC EDEN partners: Dear EOSC EDEN partners, As you might have seen in the 1st EDEN-FIDELIS newsletter (if you haven’t yet, please subscribe <https://eden-fidelis.eu/#newsletter>!), the *1st public survey of EOSC EDEN has been launched*. This survey is meant to *help us understand how* *digital preservation professionals work across the globe*. It is crucial to the work of EOSC EDEN WP1 Data and process framework for Long-Term Digital Preservation as well as the work of other WPs. *We would really appreciate your help in getting as many responses as possible by:* 1. Completing the survey yourself or sending it to an expert in your own organisation to complete. We are expecting an answer from every partner involved in the project. 2. By sending it to your own direct contacts as well as to relevant local/specific networks/mailing lists you are involved in/subscribed to. In the case of the later, and to limit cross-posting, we kindly ask you to add the details of mailings to specific networks here <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KN6pWDJlbIObx2SB0jeY_pLyqZ2BX28y/edit?gid=1874256399#gid=1874256399>. You all have some hours on WP4 T4.1 allocated for this type of tasks so please help us in reaching as many respondents as possible. The deadline for completion is *30 June 2025* but the sooner we receive your responses the better. Below you can find a text to share and adapt according to your needs. ----------- In EOSC EDEN <https://eden-fidelis.eu/>, *we are interested in how digital preservation professionals across the globe currently work, and we need input from your organisation*. We are keen to understand the existing frameworks, guidelines and practices for identification, selection and appraisal of data for “long-term” preservation – and what “long term” means in different organisational and professional settings. This is an important area where sharing knowledge can make a meaningful impact as digital preservation continues to grow as a diverse field and community. *To that end, we're running an inquiry to gather, compare and evaluate current knowledge and practice*. We need your help to gain a more comprehensive picture of these frameworks, guidelines and practices in the field. Written from the perspective of digital preservationists working within the sector, we have created *a short and focused survey* which should take no more than about five to seven minutes to complete: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/EOSC-EDEN-T1survey2025 Whether you work in *research, cultural heritage, industry, or another sector*, and whether you are part of a large organisation or a small team, we would like to hear from you. The survey is suitable for members of staff at any level in the organisation and does not ask for any sensitive information. Multiple responses from the same organisation are welcome. We hope that, as colleagues across the digital preservation world, you will take a few minutes to share information with us about your current practices, and the guidelines and frameworks that inform your decisions. *The survey is open until 30 June 2025*. Please take part now at: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/EOSC-EDEN-T1survey2025 For any questions about the survey or the work of EDEN WP1, please contact WP Lead, Micky Lindlar at [log in to unmask] or Task Lead Laura Molloy at [log in to unmask] *Thank you* for sharing your expertise – your contribution is incredibly valuable!
