JISC Managing Research Data (JISCMRD) Programme Stage Two Launch Workshop

JISCMRD Phase Two Launch Workshop

22 October 2010, 10.00 – 16.30

This workshop was for ALL JISCMRD Projects.  It had the objective of introducing the new JISCMRD Projects (i.e. the Citing, Linking, Integrating and Publishing research data (CLIP) Projects and the projects producing discipline-focussed Research Data Management Training materials (RDMTrain) to the programme.  The new projects had an opportunity to discuss their objectives and establish points of contact with other new and with existing projects.

Information about the new projects is available at (RDMTrain) http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/mrd/rdmtrain.aspx and (CLIP) http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/mrd/clip.aspx) and on the Programme Manager’s Blog http://researchdata.jiscinvolve.org/wp/

Among the objectives of the workshop was to capture commonalities, potential for collaboration and issues for deeper consideration. The workshop will also provide an opportunity to consider actionable support activities, workshops, seminars at the Programme, JISC or community level.  All projects engaged in discussions to feed into the shape and direction of the next ten months of the JISCMRD programme.
