Institutional Engagements

What is an Institutional Engagement?

An Institutional Engagement allows the DCC to provide intensive, tailored support to increase research data management capability.

We will work closely with 18 Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) between Summer 2011 and Spring 2013, providing a range of support and services. Each engagement will be tailored to the specific needs and priorities of the institution.
