| 158 | +of regionalizing training capacity by growing a community of alumni, |

| 161 | +the cost of the events for the local hosting institutions and increases the |

| 167 | +</a> |
| 168 | +Our strategic priority, shared by CODATA and the Research Data Alliance, is to |
| 169 | +build capacity and to develop skills, training young researchers in the |
| 170 | +principles of Research Data Science. It is also important that Open Data and |
| 171 | +Open Science benefit research in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) and do |
| 172 | +not result in even greater inequalities in research and scientific output. On |
| 173 | +the contrary, it has been argued that the ‘Data Revolution’ provides a notable |
| 174 | +opportunity for reducing research inequality in a number of respects. For this |
| 175 | +reason, particular attention is paid to the needs of young researchers in |
| 176 | +LMICs.</p> |

| 179 | +</a></p> |
| 180 | +<ul> |
| 181 | +<li>To address a recognised need for Research Data Science Skills |
| 182 | +across disciplines.</li> |
| 183 | +<li>To use and adapt existing materials to create an accredited curriculum that |
| 184 | +is more than the sum of its parts.</li> |
| 185 | +<li>To provide a pathway from a broad introductory course for all researchers.</li> |
| 186 | +<li>To be reproducible: all materials will be online with Open licences.</li> |
| 187 | +<li>To be scalable: emphasis will be placed on Training New Teachers (TNT) and |
| 188 | +building sustainable partnerships.</li> |
| 189 | +<li>To pay particular attention to the needs of early career researchers in MICs.</li> |
