6th International Digital Curation Conference

6 December, 2010 - 8 December, 2010
6th International Digital Curation Conference 2010 Title: “Participation & Practice: Growing the curation community through the data decade”. 6 - 8 December 2010, Chicago, USA. Digital curation manages, maintains, preserves, and adds value to digital data throughout the lifecycle, reducing threats to long-term value, mitigating the risk of digital obsolescence and enhancing usefulness for research and scholarship.

Digital Preservation: The Planets Way

19 April, 2010 - 10:00 - 21 April, 2010 - 18:00
While we can produce and share information in digital form at an increasing rate and store data in an ever smaller space, the span of time over which we can confidently keep hold of it is diminishing. To retain information to comply with regulatory/governance reasons, for business continuity, or for other valuable purposes, we must take action to ensure that this information will still be available in the future. The final in the series of Planets three-day training events will take place in Rome.

DCC at the JISC Conference

13 April, 2010 - 13:50 - 14:05
Funding bodies increasingly require grant-holders to produce data management plans (DMPs). The DCC has created DMP Online, a web-based tool which draws upon an analysis of funders' requirements to enable researchers to create and export customisable DMPs, both at the grant application stage and during the project's lifetime. The tool will be demonstrated by Martin Donnelly and Sarah Jones of the Digital Curation Centre at 13.50 - 14.05 on 13 April in the Demo Pod of Lounge 2 (Promoting Institutional Effectiveness)

Institutional Policy and Guidance for Research Data Workshop

29 March, 2010 - 09:00 - 14:00
This is the second workshop organized as part of the dissemination activities of the JISC-funded Embedding Institutional Data Curation Services in Research (EIDCSR) Project. The workshop aims to discuss issues around the development and implementation of institutional policy and guidance for research data. Whilst the EIDCSR Project is addressing the requirements of researchers working within medical and life sciences, the event is likely to be of interest to those working in, or supporting, other disciplinary areas.

Research Data Management Forum: Dealing with Sensitive Data

10 March, 2010 - 17:00
This was the fourth meeting of the Research Data Management Forum. Aimed at researchers, digital repository managers, staff from library, information and research organisations, data curators, data centre managers, data scientists, research funding organisations and research networks, the event addressed the topic "Dealing with Sensitive Data: managing ethics, security and trust." Programme and presentations

Digital Scholarship: Advanced technologies for research

10 March, 2010 - 10:00
This JISC-sponsored roadshow for researchers and those who support them, will introduce the concept of e-research and some of the distributed resources now available for research. A discussion session will address how e-research fits into broader debates and practices in digital scholarship. We will hear about some of the national services available for e-research and also about related work within the Open University, including the DISCO (DIgital SChOlarship) website, a portal for OU staff interested in learning about digital scholarship.
