Because good research needs good data

RDM and Data Management Planning

09 June 2015 |

Funding bodies increasingly require evidence of appropriate plans for data management and curation in new grant funding applications. This workshop will provide an overview to Data Management Planning and DMPonline, the DCC's web-based tool to help researchers write DMPs. We will give an introduction to Research Data Management and undertake a practical exercise on data management planning. Details will also be provided about RDM support available at the Open University.

Objectives:

  • get an introduction to research data management and good practice to follow
  • understand funders' requirements for data management and sharing
  • be aware of DMPonline and how to complete a data management plan
  • find out more about the support available at the Open University
