As part of the JISC-funded Orbital project, we are starting to offer introductory training to (initially) postgraduate students, on how to look after their research data.
The first workshop is on 23 January 2013 at 10.00 in the Graduate School classroom, and there are further workshops every couple of weeks throughout 2013.
I’ll be arranging further workshops aimed more at staff in due course.

Research data management is an important part of the research process, and a vital part of academic practice. This one-hour workshop will include a presentation and discussion of what you should consider when creating, looking after, and sharing/publishing your research data.
The workshop will cover:

- Policies affecting your data
- Data Management Planning (DMP)
- The research data lifecycle
- Practical tools for looking after your data
