Webinar

Are you a researcher, citizen scientist, institution or community looking for data storage and value-added services?

On 11 January 2018 (2pm-3pm), OpenAIRE and the FAIR data expert group will hold a joint webinar to present the results from their survey on the European Commission’s approach to Data Management Plans and the FAIR guidelines on data management.

Everybody wants to play FAIR, but how do we put the principles into practice?

As several research funders are carrying out (Open) Data Pilots, projects and researchers are increasingly required to deliver a Data Management Plan or DMP. The DMP is a useful instrument for researchers to reflect on and communicate about the way they will deal with their data.

OpenAIRE and EUDAT co-presented this webinar which aimed to introduce researchers and others to the concept of research data management (RDM). As well as presenting the benefits of taking an active approach to research data management – including increased speed and ease of access, efficiency, and improved quality and transparency of research – the webinar advised on strategies for successful RDM, resources to help manage data effectively, choosing where to store and deposit data, the EC H2020 Open Data Pilot and the basics of data management, stewardship and archiving.

EUDAT’s vision is to enable European researchers and practitioners from any research discipline to preserve, find, access, and process data in a trustworthy environment.
