SUMMARY:UKeIG Online CPD course ‘Research Data Management for information professionals - from researcher need to effective service
DESCRIPTION:Registration Link: https://www.cilip.org.uk/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=2028098&group=201314 \nThe UK electronic information Group (UKeiG) is pleased to announce its popular half-day online CPD course ‘Research Data Management for information professionals – from researcher need to effective service’ – between 1 pm and 4 pm on Wednesday 11th March 2026 \nOverview \nTo fulfill the role of supporting Research Data Management (RDM) librarians need to build an understanding of the policy context in which managing data has become important and gain a good grasp of researchers’ activities\, motives\, perceptions and feelings around their research and their data. This online course explains the need for research data services\, how to find out about users and their needs and then how to apply this knowledge to create a portfolio of research data services that they will want to use. \nWho should attend? \nInformation professionals and librarians with an interest in or responsibility for supporting research\, especially RDM\, or any professional wishing to keep their skills up to date in this important field. \nTopics covered include: \n\nWhat is research data and why can it be hard to manage?\nWhen and why did RDM become important from a policy perspective?\nWhat is challenging about managing data?\nWhat is data management planning?\nHow do you gather user requirements for research data services?\nWhat should be in a research data policy?\nWhat research data services might be needed and who should deliver them?\nWhat should your training programme look like?\nWhat skills\, knowledge and attitudes are needed to work in supporting RDM?\n\nCourse leader \nAndrew Cox is a senior lecturer at the School of Information\, Journalism and Communication\, University of Sheffield and led the RDMRose Project.  He was author of the book Exploring Research Data Management (2018). More recently he authored several sections of the Sage Research Methods: Data and Research Literacy. \nPricing \nThe course (including presentation slides and documentation) costs: \n\nUKeiG/CILIP members £50 + VAT\nNon-members £80 + VAT\nEmployer Partner staff £64 + VAT (Please contact your rep or email employerpartners@cilip.org.uk for the discount code)

SUMMARY:DCC's Digital Research Infrastructure webinar series: Getting to know BioFAIR
DESCRIPTION:About the Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) Webinar Series\nStarting in February 2026\, DCC are launching a series of webinars to showcase the digital research infrastructure projects and communities in the UK and beyond in collaboration with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). Join DCC to learn about state-of-the-art initiatives that aim to advance research tools and techniques\, foster collaboration and data sharing\, and accelerate discoveries across a range of academic disciplines and sectors. And if you work on a research infrastructure project and are interested in being a guest speaker\, please email DCC at info@dcc.ac.uk! \nDescription\nJoin us to learn about BioFAIR\, the BioCommons digital research infrastructure for the UK life sciences community\, from our guest speakers Tony Burdett and Nishadi De Silva. \nBioFAIR is a UKRI funded federated digital research infrastructure and provides end-to-end FAIR research data management & analysis capabilities along with the necessary support and training for UK researchers working in the life sciences. \nSpeakers\n\nTony Burdett\, Director\, BioFAIR\nTony Burdett is the Director of BioFAIR and an experienced leader in bioinformatics\, specialising in FAIR data management and delivery of research-enabling services for the life sciences. He has made significant contributions to international scientific collaborations around the development of innovative data solutions and has been responsible for the delivery of large-scale data platforms\, both at EMBL-EBI and as part of international consortia such as the Human Cell Atlas. As a lead of the ELIXIR Interoperability Platform\, Tony has also been instrumental in developing sustainable\, interoperable data infrastructures across ELIXIR member states and defining innovative approaches to the practical adoption of FAIR principles.\nDr Nishadi De Silva\, Senior Technical Project Manager\, BioFAIR\nAs the Senior Technical Project Manager for BioFAIR\, Dr Nishadi De Silva coordinates cross-disciplinary projects to advance FAIR practices and build a unified digital research infrastructure for the life sciences in the U.K. She works closely with researchers\, software engineers\, delivery partners and stakeholders to align workflow and data management strategies to meet the demands. Prior to that\, Nishadi lead the delivery of bioinformatics resources and coordinated data management at EMBL-EBI and worked in the Pathogen Informatics team at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. Nishadi holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Southampton\, U.K.\n\n  \n
