Registration open for DCC Cambridge Roadshow

Registration is now open for the 6th Digital Curation Centre Roadshow: Institutional Challenges in the Data Decade which is being organised in conjunction with Cambridge Library. The roadshow takes place from 9^th - 11_^th November 2011 in the Paston Brown Room, Homerton Conference Centre, Cambridge, CB2 2PH.

The roadshow runs over three days but each workshop can be booked individually. Attendees are encouraged to select the workshops which address their own particular data management requirements. The workshops will provide advice and guidance tailored to a range of staff, including PVCs Research, University Librarians, Directors of IT/Computing Services, Repository Managers, Research Support Services and practising researchers.

Speakers for day one include Graham Pryor (DCC Associate Director), Anne Alexander (Co-ordinator, Cambridge Digital Humanities Network) and representatives from the UK Data Archive and DSpace@Cambridge.

Steve Walsh from the Interoperable Geospatial Data for Biosphere Study( IGIBS) Project, Aberystwyth University, wrote a review of the most recent workshop held in Oxford. Steve commented that attending the roadshow helped him understand that "it is only the moment when data management arrives at the top of an individual’s priority list that it actually gets done". Attending the forthcoming roadshow may help you not only realise the importance of data management, but provide you with the tools to move it up your priority list.
