SEEDS partners met for a last time for the third planned workshop in Zagreb on November 2-4, 2016.  24 people from 11 institutions were present, including SEEDS Advisory Board member and Acting Administrative Director of CESSDA Ivana Veršić, as well as Natascha Schumann from GESIS, member of the CESSDA Trust Support Group. Natascha Schumann’s presentation focused on trusted digital repositories in general and the new common requirements DSA/WDS in more detail. Ivana Veršić recapitulated the roles and activities of CESSDA as a whole and presented the CESSDA SaW project, which aims to strengthen and widen the European infrastructure for social science data archives. Following those presentations a round table was held with presentations about ongoing initiatives from Croatian representatives. On the second day, partners discussed the remaining project tasks and deliverables, like building country websites, developing requirements and enhancing tools, and creating policy documents. The last day was dedicated to the future directions of SEEDS and its partners. Several options were discussed regarding how to continue the work accomplished in SEEDS, along with various promotional activities and outreach strategies.
