This session will talk about what dRTPs are, where they come from, and what they do, and then present some UKRI-funded DRI projects which provide events and funding for dRTPs and people who are interested in engaging with this space. Come prepared to ask questions and join in discussions! In this meet-up, we’ll hear from Dr Marion Weinzierl, Principal Research Software Engineer at the Institute of Computing for Climate Science at the University of Cambridge, in her role in the Computational Abilities Knowledge Exchange (CAKE) project https://www.cake.ac.uk/. There will also be representatives from several dRTP related projects. Free	has 0 events, 11 0 events, 11	has 0 events, 12 0 events, 12	has 0 events, 13 0 events, 13	has 0 events, 14 0 events, 14

The event will take place on 15–16 June at the University of Southampton. Online participation is also available. This year’s theme is Sustainability, understood in a broad and inclusive way. The event will explore how we sustain digital infrastructures, projects, and research communities, as well as the roles of digital preservation, ethical computing, climate justice, and community‑led practice in shaping the future of digital humanities and digital cultural heritage. £35	has 2 events, 16 2 events, 16 2026-06-15 UK–Ireland Digital Humanities Association’s 2026 Annual Event 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm DPC: Introducing the DPC Advocacy Toolkit and Novice to Know-How Advocacy Course June 16 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm DPC: Introducing the DPC Advocacy Toolkit and Novice to Know-How Advocacy Course Join the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) for an interactive session introducing two new resources designed to support digital preservation advocacy: the Digital Preservation Advocacy Toolkit and the Novice to Know-How (N2KH) Advocacy Course, which was conceived of and funded by The National Archives (UK). Created to help digital preservation practitioners make the case more confidently for their work, this 90-minute online event will offer a first look at both resources, share practical examples of small but effective advocacy wins, and connect participants with others working to build momentum for digital preservation within their own organizations. Whether you are just beginning to think about advocacy or looking for fresh ways to strengthen your message, this session will provide practical ideas, shared experiences, and helpful first steps.

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. £260 – £600, 9:30 am - 5:00 pm Edinburgh Open Research Conference 2026 June 18 @ 9:30 am - 5:00 pm Edinburgh Open Research Conference 2026 This one day conference provides an opportunity for all individuals interested in making research more open and accessible to come together to discuss their challenges, success stories, and next steps.

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). Four separate speakers will share their stories and present the solutions they have found to improve their practices.

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.
