A centrepiece of the JISC Managing Research Data Programme Launch Workshop was the poster session. Feedback on the session has been very positive and a lot of projects seem to have found it a useful and effective way of finding out about each others’ work and establishing points of contact.

It seems sensible to share those here as well. There is quite a lot of material already available, so potentially the task of implementing […]
In the #jiscmrd Programme, the Research Data Management Infrastructure projects, plus HALOGEN one of the RDM Planning Projects, produced benefits case studies; some of the more institutionally oriented projects have additionally produced business cases.
