Research Data Conversations
Research Data Conversations
Research Data Conversations is part of a new series of My Research Essentials (MRE) and UoM Data Stewardship community events exploring themes within research data and data stewardship. The sessions will have a collaborative format and explore themes that promote open and FAIR data practices, and the promotion and development of new and emerging ideas in research data.
Research data management, stewardship and curation is an area of growing professionalism and potential for academic-related career paths. These events would be suitable for anyone interested in exploring ideas in the field, connecting with professionals at different stages of their careers and across different disciplines, and joining a community that feeds into the development of research systems, data stewardship and curation at the University of Manchester.
Our first Data Conversation will be led by Stavrina Dimosthenous, Data Curator at the Henry Royce Institute. Stavrina will share her experiences in setting up a data repository, touching upon the importance of standards, ontologies and what to do in a nascent field where you have to start from scratch.

Date: Tuesday, 26 November
Time: 12pm-2pm. These events are catered from 1pm, giving attendees the opportunity to continue the conversation and network over lunch.

Led by: Stavrina Dimosthenous, a data curator at the Henry Royce institute.
