OTGA/VLIZ Research Data Management Training Course

Research Data Management (RDM) covers the planning, creating, storing, organizing, accessing, sharing, describing, publishing and curation of data. RDM is mandated by many funding agencies and increasingly by governments to provide access to funded research results. The management of data, particularly large-scale data, has many challenges, and the roles of researchers, facilities that manage marine data, repositories and libraries are coming together to provide access, preservation and archive of this data and the scholarly products associated with it. Members of the EurOBIS Data Management Team (and hence LifeWatch VLIZ team) have actively contributed to this training course.
