There are still a few places available for the Workshop on Institutional Data Management Policies and Roadmaps, 12-13 March, Weetwood Conference Centre, Leeds. Please ensure that participants have registered by close of play on Wednesday 7 March. Registration is available at: https://www.eventsforce.net/jisc/196/home The workshop will be largely discursive, tackling various issues around the development of institutional research data management policies, for example: How are projects/institutions developing policies? Covering considerations of general principles, guidelines from funders and other bodies, specific considerations for the institution in question. How are people getting approval for policies? A chance to share – e.g. off the record or by the Chatham House Rule – some of the challenges which may be faced. How are people planning to support the implementation of the policies? How do projects/institutions intend to support transition from policy to practice? Policy, infrastructure and guidance. Interplay of top-down and bottom-up elements? How to build mention and requirements of subject specific and/or institutional services into institutional policies. Although the workshop is primarily intended for projects in the JISC Managing Research Data Programme, and institutions which are working with the DCC, other institutions which are developing policies for research data management will be welcome.
