Because good research needs good data

Research Data Management readiness

meeting the EPSRC policy framework

13 February 2015 |

The DCC is pleased to collaborate with Jisc on a workshop to consider what challenges remain in meeting the EPSRC policy framework, and what lessons can be learned from other institutions.

The workshop is part of Jisc's Research at Risk co-design challenge and will be free to attend.

This event follows on from the Assessing institutional awareness & readiness for compliance with EPSRC Policy Framework workshop that the DCC ran last May. Ben Ryan of the EPSRC will be there to provide an introduction and offer clarifications where needed, and representatives from Jisc and the DCC will reflect on progress across the sector and new initiatives that can help.
