Research Data Management Forum

Our Research Data Management Forum workshops allow data custodians to explore in depth the challenges currently faced by digital curators.

Because we limit RDMF workshop numbers to no more than 50 people, our workshops are in-depth and highly interactive sessions. To give you a taste of the topics we’ve discussed previously, past RDMF workshop titles are listed below.

You’ll also find details of forthcoming RDMF workshops on this page. Topics under consideration for future workshops include ‘Data and the Research Excellence Framework’ and ‘Socio-legal and ethical data challenges: managing confidentiality, anonymity, privacy and consent’.
