JISC MRD Progress Workshop

The purpose of the workshop was to consider how best to meet the challenge of managing research data in UK Universities. Participants were informed of progress made under the JISC MRD Programme to examine researchers’ data management requirements and improve planning in a number of academic and institutional contexts. The objective was to discuss the detail of the projects’ discoveries and to consider the more general landscape and initiatives required.

The workshop attracted a range of participants representing various stakeholders keen to improve the management of digital research data in UK Universities. Participants includes researchers, library staff, computing services staff, funders and research liaison officers.

The meeting began with lunch on the 17th and drew to a close on 18th at 3pm. Slides are available.
