data management

The JISC-funded Incremental project has released its scoping study into researchers' data management needs at the Universities of Cambridge and Glasgow.
A blog post summarises our findings and implementation plans.
We welcome any feedback you have.
 

I’ve been hastily writing up travel reports to submit expenses before year end, and in reviewing the data management events I’ve been to in the last few months, a few recurrent questions emerge...

The DCC is delighted to announce that we will be holding two of our Tools of the Trade workshops to introduce users to the newly refined Data Asset Framework (DAF) and Assessing Institutional Digital Assets (AIDA) toolkits.
The events will take place May 19 2010 at the Manchester Conference Centre directly following the JISC RDMI Progress workshop. Further details will be released shortly.

Registration for the JISC Managing Research Data Progress Workshop is now open. The event will run from 12 noon on Monday 17 May to 3pm Tuesday 18 May, taking place at the Manchester Conference Centre.

The fifth meeting of the DCC-RIN Research Data Management Forum will be held in Manchester on 27/28 October 2010.
The proposed theme for this event is the Economics of Applying and Sustaining Digital Curation.
More detailed information about the programme and registration process will follow in due course via the normal mailing lists and the DCC and RIN websites, but in the meantime you may wish to note these dates in your diaries.
