Another thought about the course: I think many of the topics assume open source software, but this is not at all an obvious choice for many researchers. Perhaps open vs closed should be a topic on its own. FAIR is more about “how” than about “why”, so that would be step two, but first they need to be convinced of open sourcing at all. Or btw maybe not, there could be valid cases for closed source as well, but anyway, it’s a whole discussion filled with fear and emotion that probably is top of mind for many researchers and that supporters could help with.
