Research Data Management - what's it all about?
10 September 2013 |
There are increasing expectations that research data will be effectively managed and shared, and doing so can bring real benefits in terms of increased citations, impact and grant income.
This workshop will introduce participants to Research Data Management (RDM) and demonstrate how to improve practice and write effective Data Management Plans (DMPs) via case studies and discussion.
By the end of this workshop participants will be able to:
- Describe the main activities and principles of good RDM
- Make informed decisions on how best to create, manage and share research data
- Write effective Data Management Plans to submit as part of grant applications and use in project planning
Who should attend?
Researchers / Academic staff from Science / Engineering disciplines who wish to improve how they manage and share research data.
