Don’t forget this Wednesday’s workshop featuring the Research Council requirements for data management, to be hosted by the School of Social Sciences:

Research Council requirements for data management

Many research funders have issued policies that require researchers to effectively manage, and where possible, share their data. The main expectations are reflected in a set of common principles, released by RCUK in 2011. This workshop aims to demystify funder requirements and provide practical guidelines on how to meet them.

  • Hosted by: School of Social Sciences
  • Intended audience: Research active staff and research students in social sciences
  • When: Wednesday 27th February 10am – 12 noon
  • Where: Naseby N25
  • Contact: Miggie Pickton

There will also be an opportunity for individuals to chat through the data management aspects of their latest funding bids, or to discuss any other data management issues.  Contact Miggie for a one-to-one appointment.  Half hour slots are available from 1pm to 3pm in F39.
