Research Councils and funding bodies are increasingly requiring evidence of adequate and appropriate provisions for data management and curation in new grant funding applications. In July, the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) will be holding two half day workshops which will provide an introduction to research data management and curation, the range of activities and roles that should be considered when planning and implementing new projects, and an overview of tools that can assist with curation activities.

 The Learning Objectives of the workshops will be to:

• understand funders’ requirements for data management and sharing
• learn how research data management and curation can safeguard research outputs and increase citations
• identify the processes and activities involved in good practice for research data management
• be aware of the free services and tools available

 There will be two workshops each pitched to a slightly different audience on the dates below:

• 2nd July 2014 2-5pm 
• 3rd July 9-12pm
