Perspectives on Engagement and Impact: a UK Data Service event for Early Career Researchers’
The UK Data Service (UKDS) is running a free in-person event, held in The Engine Room at the People's History Museum in Manchester. This event will support ECRs to develop their skills in communicating their research for translation into policy. This workshop offers practical tools and inspiring perspectives to help you take the next step, with attendance from stakeholders interested in policy engagement. Through sessions such as 'Stakeholder Speed-Dating', Panel Discussions, and Lightning Keynotes, this interactive workshop looks like a great opportunity for ECRs to learn how to translate their data into impact through policy.

Evaluating FAIRness of Training Resources
CHARTED  is organising a session to engage with the dRTP community (research software, research data and research computing infrastructure professionals) in a discussion on what it means for training resources to be FAIR - Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable - and to gather feedback on the questionnaire created to evaluate FAIRness of existing training resources. Once completed the questionnaire will also be linked to a set of recommendations and practical guides to help improve existing training resources.
