This presentation discusses the European Diamond Capacity Hub (EDCH), one of the regional capacity hubs in the global Diamond framework under the auspices of UNESCO. It looks at the background, vision and goals of the EDCH as well as the six services of the EDCH: The Diamond Open Access Standard and self-assessment tool, accompanying resources and guidelines, the training platform, the Diamond Discovery Hub, the Registry and Forum, and Publishing Tools. In addition, two short case studies of the National Capacity Centres, Diamond Ireland and SeDOA, the capacity centre for Germany are presented. The presentation then focusses on the support the OPERAS-NL National Node can offer the Dutch research community before briefly looking towards future developments of the EDCH.
