SUMMARY:ORCID for Researchers webinar
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe 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. \nYour ORCID iD and profile can help you save time and get credit for your work in funding\, publishing\, and research reporting workflows. Funding organisations\, publishers\, and research institutions are increasingly requiring or asking for ORCID iDs from researchers. \nWorkshop Content\nIn this workshop\, we will include: \n\nAn overview of the benefits of ORCID for researchers\nHow ORCID can help you save time across the research landscape\nDemonstrate the latest enhancements from ORCID\nShow you how to keep your ORCID record up to date\nAnswer any questions\n\nTarget Audience\nThe target audience includes: \n\nResearchers\nResearch managers\nParticipants in research who produce outputs that can be shared\nAnyone with a role or interest in:\n\nsupporting researchers with impact and dissemination of outputs\nresearch infrastructure and PIDs\nresearcher digital profiles and presence\n\n\n\nWorkshop Details\nThe webinar is free to attend and available to all. It assumes no prior knowledge of ORCID. It will be recorded.

SUMMARY:ELIXIR-UK FAIR Contentathon #3
DESCRIPTION:The ELIXIR-UK RDM Club has been awarded a BioFAIR Pathfinder grant for a project called The FAIR-in-action Bridge. \nIn 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. \nThe 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. \nThe project will produce two FAIR-in-action playbooks for life science RDM professionals: \n\nHow to approach FAIRification: practical activities and templates for FAIRifying data.\nHow to communicate and advocate FAIR: talking points\, FAIR games and advocacy materials for different audiences\n\nBoth will be roughly 80% ready-to-use\, aggregating open FAIR material in the public domain\, with placeholders (20%) for your local context (eg institutional repositories and guidance). Both will be openly licensed and indexed. And both will be tested through one-day in-person rollouts at six UK RPOs. \nWe’re running three online Contentathons\, and we’d love you to join the ones that fit. This third and final Contentathon is a full day event\, on how to communicate and advocate FAIR. Hands-on\, structured in sections so you can join the bits relevant to you.

SUMMARY:CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training #5 - Data Selection and Preservation
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nJoin 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. \nIn 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. \nThis 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. \nThis training session will be run by Digital Curation Centre (DCC). \nWhat You’ll Learn\nBy the end of this session\, you will be able to: \n\nApply structured criteria for selecting which data and research objects should be retained\, archived\, or disposed of\nUnderstand the key principles and standards underpinning long-term digital preservation\nAssess the risks to data longevity and put mitigation strategies in place

SUMMARY:International Digital Curation Conference: IDCC27
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC) is an established annual event with a unique place in the digital curation community\, reaching out to individuals\, organisations and institutions across all disciplines and domains involved in curating data and providing an opportunity to get together with like-minded data practitioners to discuss policy and practice. \nThe 21st edition of the International Digital Curation Conference(IDCC27) will take place in Lisbon\, Portugal from 9 – 12 February 2027. The main theme of the conference is ”FAIR DO’s: Centring People in the Stewardship and Curation of Digital Objects.” The FAIR principles emphasise machine actionability\, but the increasing integration of artificial intelligence systems into data infrastructure carries the risk of marginalising people in the planning\, management\, and practice of digital curation. The theme of this year’s conference acknowledges the crucial role of people in making digital objects FAIR. \nSubmissions are now open for papers\, lightning talks\, posters\, demos and workshops. Full information is available on the conference website! \nWho should attend?\nAll those involved in the curation and stewardship of data and related roles. \nAbout DCC\nThe International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC) is an established annual event with a unique place in the digital curation community\, reaching out to individuals\, organisations and institutions across all disciplines and domains involved in curating data and providing an opportunity to get together with like-minded data practitioners to discuss policy and practice.
