Trusted Research for Repository/Data Managers

Trusted Research principles are vital to data stewardship but often misunderstood. This webinar introduces TR and builds user understanding. In partnership with Loughborough University and CaSDAR, NPSA and HEECA are delivering this inaugural webinar as a fantastic opportunity to introduce trusted research (TR) and begin to touch on how you as repository and data managers already are or could be involved in TR as part of your work. We aim to support you by recognising and highlighting the critical role and value you hold in delivering world-leading institutional research, whether this be ensuring compliance and mitigating security risks, dealing with commercial data, and much more. This webinar is the beginning of a wider package of work highlighting the significance of the repository/data community in TR. NCSC will also be present to provide information about cybersecurity.

EOSC EDEN project: Seminar on Digital Preservation

Online

The EOSC EDEN project, an EU-funded initiative, is continuing its webinar series to share key results and insights from its work on advancing digital preservation strategies across Europe. At the heart of EOSC EDEN lies the ambition to develop a framework for identifying research data that should be prioritised for long-term digital preservation at both European and national levels. In this fourth seminar, we will present the findings from the survey run by EOSC EDEN between May and July 2025. The survey investigated current practices in digital preservation, and the guidance documents that inform these practices. Survey questions interrogated long-term preservation across different domains and organisation types, and identified issues that potentially affect how preservation and the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of digital data objects may change over time.
