DCC / RDA Europe – Self-assessing Research Data Management and FAIR-enabling Capabilities

Online

The Digital Curation Centre is pleased to announce a professional development opportunity, co-hosted with RDA Europe, designed specifically for professionals in research support roles. Our half-day workshop taking place next month will equip you with the skills and knowledge to assess and improve your organisation's research data management (RDM) and FAIR-enabling capabilities. This interactive workshop will introduce you to the concept of self-assessment, providing you with practical guidance on how to evaluate your organisations’ capabilities to support RDM and the production and reuse of FAIR data.  Through hands-on activities and real-world scenario discussions, you will gain essential skills in conducting these assessments and learn how to implement, interpret, and use the results to drive organisational improvements.

CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training #2 – Data ethics and data protection

Online

Join us for the second session in the CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training series, where we turn our focus to one of the most critical and complex areas of research data management: ethics, data protection, and the handling of sensitive data. As data stewards, navigating the legal, ethical, and institutional frameworks surrounding research data is an essential part of the role. This session will provide you with the knowledge and practical grounding to handle sensitive data responsibly, ensure compliance with data protection regulations, and uphold the rights and dignity of research participants. This training session will be run by Digital Curation Centre (DCC).

CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training #3 – FAIR Data

Online

Join us for the third session in the CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training series, dedicated to the FAIR principles. FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) has become the cornerstone of open science and responsible data stewardship. This session will take you from the foundational concepts behind FAIR all the way through to practical implementation, giving you the tools and strategies to make research data and other research objects genuinely FAIR in your day-to-day work. This training session will be run by Digital Curation Centre (DCC).

CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training #4 – Mastering Metadata

Online

Join us for the fourth session in the CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training series, in response to the growing need for practical metadata stewardship skills across the research landscape. Designed for Data Stewards and professionals supporting research data management, the session introduces approaches to efficiently clean, standardise, enrich, and transform metadata using tools such as OpenRefine. Participants will explore how metadata practices support FAIR principles, data sharing, repository ingest, and cross-disciplinary reuse. Through practical exercises and collaborative discussion, attendees will gain experience addressing real-world metadata challenges commonly encountered in research environments. This training will be run by the Digital Preservation Southampton.

CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training #5 – Data Selection and Preservation

Online

Join us for the fifth session in the CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training series, where we turn our attention to two deeply interconnected pillars of responsible data stewardship: data selection and long-term preservation. In an era of ever-growing data volumes, knowing what to keep, how to keep it, and for how long is one of the most consequential decisions a data steward can make. Poor selection and preservation practices put research outputs at risk of being lost, inaccessible, or unusable over time — undermining both the scientific record and the investment made in collecting the data in the first place. This session will equip you with the frameworks, tools, and practical judgment needed to make sound decisions about data selection and to implement robust preservation strategies that stand the test of time. This training session will be run by Digital Curation Centre (DCC).
