Institutions running, setting up or planning RDM support services have a need to identify and train staff in appropriate roles. Several JISC-funded projects have developed training materials for library, IT, research office and other staff in institutional settings, to complement the many resources developed by the Digital Curation Centre. But what training material exists, and how can it be used effectively?
Staff from the TraD, ADMIRe and RoaDMAP projects at the Universities of East London, Nottingham and Leeds, together with the DCC, are hosting an event to explore these issues. Join us on 16 July for a workshop on the support available to those in RDM support roles. The workshop will offer an overview of training materials available from the DCC and from JISC-funded projects, give you some hands-on practice using training resources, and hear from three JISCMRD projects addressing the training needs of library, IT and research office staff.
You will find this event useful if you are planning to develop a support service for managing research data, or already undertaking this work. And the roundtable will give us all a chance to share good practice and any lessons learned. Join us in Stratford, East London!
