What is Research Data Management? An introduction for researchers

You’ve got lots of great research data. But can you remember exactly what all those files are? Collaborate and share them securely? Meet funder and publisher data requirements?

This 1-hour session will introduce participants to the basics of Research Data Management (RDM): what it is, why it’s important, and what’s involved, such as data storage, organization, documentation, and sharing. Everyone conducting or supporting research at KPU is welcome to attend.

A little effort invested into data planning at the start of a project can save you a lot of time and stress down the road!
