The ARDC's Digital Research Capabilities and Skills Framework, released in 2022, provides a structure for training programs to develop essential and advanced digital research skills. It aims to help researchers and professionals identify the necessary skills they need to leverage emerging opportunities in data management, data analysis, data linking, AI, and machine learning. The framework aligns with technological advancements and encourages ongoing discussion and contributions to evolve the coverage of digital research skills.
The framework focuses on digital research skills, excluding broader professional skills, and is intended for a wide range of stakeholders. It provides a structured approach for project teams and organisations to develop and enhance their digital research skills through six main components: a skills taxonomy, a skills glossary, a list of generalised roles, roles and skills-related profiles, learning paths, and a skills and roles matrix. The skills taxonomy classifies digital research skills into four capability families: Governance, Data, Software, and Digital Research Infrastructure Management. It provides a standard terminology for identifying and describing these skills.

Ten Simple Rules for Researchers: Upskilling for a Rapidly Evolving Workforce

The following recommendations were inspired by the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) Digital Research Skills Summit 2023, that brought together Researchers, Learning Designers, Skills Trainers, and Librarians in productive discussions on how to run effective researcher skills training. These rules outline how to think about skills learning for researchers, plan training sessions, and efficiently maximize learning. We offer recommendations on how to design and develop learner-centered training programs (Rules 1 and 2), foster outreach, and connect with trainer communities (Rules 3 and 4). We then provide tips to manage and optimize training (Rules 5, 6, and 7), and conclude with valuable insights on preparing for uncertainty and the importance of post-training operations and continued learning (Rules 8, 9, and 10).

The Australian Research Data Commons is driving transformational change in the research data ecosystem, enabling researchers to conduct world class data-intensive research. One interconnected component of this ecosystem is skills development/uplift, which is critical to the Commons and its purpose of providing Australian researchers with a competitive advantage through data.
In this presentation, Kathryn Unsworth introduces the ARDC Skills Landscape. The Landscape is a first step in developing a national skills framework to enable a coordinated and cohesive approach to skills development across the Australian eResearch sector. It is also a first step towards helping to analyse current approaches in data training to identify:
- Siloed skills initiatives, and finding ways to build partnerships and improve collaboration
- Skills deficits, and working to address the gaps in data skills
- Areas of skills development for investment by skills stakeholders like universities, research organisations, skills and training service providers, ARDC, etc.
