Workshops for digital curators

Effective digital curation allows the sharing of curated data among researchers and relies upon the UK research community as a whole developing data curation and preservation skills.

To stimulate knowledge sharing throughout the higher education sector, the DCC co-ordinates a range of advocacy services nationwide – among them, our hugely popular workshops series.

Further your knowledge of data curation

DCC workshops may combine case studies, presentations and/or interactive breakout sessions to explore some of the more complex issues affecting digital curators today.

Our forthcoming series of workshops is targeted at members of specific professional groups, such as the RLUK, SCONUL, UCISA and UUK communities.

At least one workshop in the DCC series will be aimed at developing the UK CODATA community, and further workshops may be developed in response to demand from data custodians and digital curators or to address new JISC Research Data Management Programme measures.

Places at our workshops fill up fast, and it’s a case of first come, first served. Bookmark this page or subscribe to our RSS feed or mailing list to stay informed about forthcoming workshops – and be sure to sign up for a space quickly to avoid disappointment.
