About the Course
Using our DCC Curation Lifecycle Model [PDF] as a reference point, this five-day course employed a mixture of lectures and practical exercises to equip participants with both a theoretical underpinning of core digital curation issues as well as hands-on experience in applying the lessons learned.
Benefits of Participation
Upon completing this workshop participants gained an understanding of the range and nature of data management and curation activities that should be considered when planning new research projects, and will be better equipped to develop and implement sound data management and curation plans for future research funding bids.
Target Audience
The target audience for this workshop was researchers with funding body data management and curation mandates to fulfil and information management specialists. A key goal was the integration of these communities of practice to share their experiences and to identify where, when and how they could best cooperate to meet data curation challenges.
