Session abstract
Good research data management enables verification of results and new and innovative research built on existing information, thus realising the full value of public investment in research. However, good research data management presents complex challenges, many of which relate to policy and how researchers use technology rather than the systems as such. This session will present new findings from three pieces of JISC-funded work into some of these challenges. The first will report on the costs involved in keeping data for the long term. The second will throw light on the value of curated research data by examining the impact and benefits of established data centres. We will then hear about JISC-funded projects that are working closely with specific research groups to determine requirements for effective data management. Finally, there will be a panel debate around the issues different stakeholders must consider when developing their own approach to research data management.

What can delegates expect to learn/gain/take away from the session? Delegates will hear about new findings from three major JISC activities in research data management, which has been identified as a major challenge for the higher education sector. JISC is helping the sector develop an understanding of how efforts in research data management may best be targeted, taking into account impact and value, cost – benefits and researchers’ and institutions’ requirements.
Who should attend? Research directors, principal investigators, pro-vice-chancellors for research, librarians and heads of centralised IT services with an interest in research data management
