Events

Writing a data management plan (DMP) is useful for researchers in all disciplines. Research data is produced by most projects, and can be anything: interview recordings, sensor data, economic models and more. A DMP covers how data will be collected, organised, managed, stored, secured, backed-up, preserved, and where applicable, shared. Writing a DMP will help you to anticipate any challenges for working with your data and make the research process much smoother.

Learning outcomes

This workshop will introduce you to the essential elements of a DMP, covering:

• What is a DMP and how can it help you?
• What are the core elements of a DMP and how can you start to write one?
• Using DMPOnline to structure your DMP
• Resources to inform the content of your DMP

We will allow some time for you to start your own DMP.

Target audience

Postgraduate researchers at any stage and from any discipline. Research staff are welcome to attend with the awareness that examples used are aimed at postgraduate researchers.
