JISC is currently funding two projects that are looking at various aspects
of data management skills in the research, repository and library
communities. The projects are:
1. The Digital Curation Centre's Summer School project:

_schools.aspx
2. Skills and careers of data scientists and curators:

s_careers.aspx
Part of the information-gathering work for these projects is to be done by
means of an electronic questionnaire. Those of you who are working with data
yourselves, or are involved in training others to manage their research data
effectively, are invited to help these studies by spending a few minutes
completing the questionnaire online at:
http://www.dcc.ac.uk/jisc/data_projects_questionnaire
We would also be grateful if you would pass this message to colleagues and
researchers who you think may be willing to help, too.
Thanks for your participation.
