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.

Tools for Data FAIRification – overcoming barriers in data discoverability and reuse

Online

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by barriers to making data FAIR, but when you realise that others have had the same problems AND have solutions, life feels much better! Holly Ranger and the N8 CIR group have organised an online seminar titled “Tools for Data FAIRification – overcoming barriers in data discoverability and reuse” will take place on Tuesday, 23 June from 13:00–15:00 (BST) with a focus on practical tools and approaches to improve how research data is managed, shared, and reused in line with FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).

ORCID for Researchers webinar

Online

The UK ORCID consortium is running a webinar to promote ORCID more widely across the UK. It is open to all, so you do not need to be a member of the consortium to attend. Find out why getting a free ORCID iD and populating your ORCID record is key for researchers to get credit for their work. ORCID is a free, unique, persistent identifier (PID) for individuals to use as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities. Obtaining an ORCID iD and populating your profile helps achieve the vision where all who participate in research, scholarship, and innovation are uniquely identified and connected to their contributions across disciplines, borders, and time.

ELIXIR-UK FAIR Contentathon #3

Online

The ELIXIR-UK RDM Club has been awarded a BioFAIR Pathfinder grant for a project called The FAIR-in-action Bridge. In summary, many UK research-performing organisations have FAIR data policies.  Many have guidance documents. What’s often missing is the middle layer: the practical, ready-to-use materials that let RDM professionals in the life sciences turn that guidance into something researchers actually engage with. The FAIR-in-action Bridge is a BioFAIR Pathfinder project, led by coordinators of the ELIXIR-UK RDM Club, that sets out to fill this gap. The project will produce two FAIR-in-action playbooks for life science RDM professionals. We're running three online Contentathons, and we'd love you to join the ones that fit. This first Contentathon is a scoping session. Drop-in. Help us define what each playbook needs to contain and what FAIR resources you use already in the life sciences.
