research data management

In November 2025, Dr Samantha Pearman-Kanza and Dr Louise Saul attended the Understanding dRTP Training Landscape Workshop. The audience for this session was dRTPs, people who are interested in furthering the careers of dRTPs, manage dRTPs, or develop organisational systems that rely heavily on the skills of dRTPs. 

Just before All Hallows Eve, Dr Samantha Pearman-Kanza presented a warning spooky tale about the pitfalls of not stewarding your data properly at Lab Innovations 2025. This 2-day in-person event, hosted at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, is the UK’s leading showcase for laboratory excellence, technology, and innovation. It brings together industry experts and solution providers to explore every facet of modern lab management—from sustainable facilities and operational efficiency to cutting-edge digital transformation.

In October 2025, Dr Louise Saul was invited to present on CaSDaR at the UKRI Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) Congress 2025. This was an in-person two-day event held at The Met Hotel in Leeds on the 22nd-23rd October 2025. The audience for this session were individuals involved in UKRI network+ groups who want to ensure that they are working collaboratively with other groups to prevent fragmentation of the research landscape.

In early September 2025, Dr Samantha Pearman-Kanza was invited to present on CaSDaR at the ELIXIR-UK Research Data Management Club. This is a regular online zoom meeting that occurs over Zoom on the first Tuesday of every month (excluding July, August and January).  These regular meetings focus on sharing experiences and signposting new projects, resources, communities and training.

In late May 2025, Dr Samantha Pearman-Kanza presented on data stewardship and CaSDaR at Future Labs Live Basel, and chaired a lively panel discussion on 'why should scientific publishers & the lab community care about FAIR data?'

Prior to the formal launch of CaSDaR, Samantha Pearman-Kanza presented on data stewardship and offered a sneak peak into CaSDaRs plans at the Paperless Labs Academy 2025.

Prior to the formal launch of CaSDaR, Samantha Pearman-Kanza offered a sneak peak into CaSDaRs plans for the joint PSDI and Digital Curation Centre Event: Research Data in the Physical Sciences: A Forum for Librarians and Research Support Professionals.
