RDMF21: Data Stewardship in Research Institutions
12-13 July 2021 |
Theme: Coordinating support for research data stewardship - generic and disciplinary roles
RDMF 21 will focus on institutional data stewardship roles, and how national-level communities of practice can help institutions coordinate them e.g. on the following -
- Delivering policy change on RDM, FAIR and open science across the organisation - working with policy stakeholders to define policies and compliance requirements; ensuring capacity among support staff to advise research stakeholders on adopting data workflows, tools, standards and infrastructure.
- Providing support, training and consultancy to enable change in research workflows and practices - working with research stakeholders to support the adoption of data workflows, tools, standards and infrastructure; working with infrastructure stakeholders to facilitate software and hardware services and technical infrastructure.
- Liaising between policy stakeholders and data centres, repositories or other research data infrastructures to deliver compliant services - working with infrastructure stakeholders to assess needs for software and hardware services and technical infrastructure; working with policy stakeholders to define policies and compliance requirements.
