<http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/data-management-roadshows/northeast-roadshow-registration>
for the DCC Northeast England Roadshow in Newcastle upon Tyne, 23-24 April.
The event is being held at the Darwin Suite, 3rd Floor Bioscience
Centre, Times Square, Newcastle
The programme <http://www.dcc.ac.uk/webfm_send/803> has an exciting
range of speakers who will share examples of developing research data
management services and infrastructure. Registrants can sign up for
either or both days of this free event.
Professor Julie McLeod of Northumbria University School of Computing,
Engineering, and Information Sciences is opening the event.
* Day 1 is a general introduction. As well as an overview of the data
management landscape from DCC Director Kevin Ashley, there wil be an
oppountunity to hear the progress of projects Iridium, DATUM, and
Cerif 4 Data, from the JISC funded Managing Research Data programme.
On top of that you get to hear Andy Powell on Eduserve's cloud
offering, Paul Watson on barriers to cloud adoption, Simon Kerridge
on research information systems, and Jonathan Tedds on BRISSKit.
* Day 2 is our recently revamped strategic training day. The workshop
provides an introduction to curation and DCC tools through
presentations and breakout exercises, so you can start to plan
research data management services for your institution. This
includes a first outing for the new Version 3 of DMP Online, the
DCC's tool for Data Management Planning.
To get a taster of what to expect, previous events have been blogged,
for example by Pablo De Castro of the SONEX project
<http://sonexworkgroup.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/northwest-england-dcc-roadshow-at.html>,
and John Murtagh from the University of the Arts, London who offers an
arts perspective
<http://www.dcc.ac.uk/news/arts-perspective-dcc-roadshow> as he
undertakes work on the JISC-funded KAPTUR project.
Attending the forthcoming roadshow may help you not only realise the
importance of data management, but provide you with the tools to deal
with it.
We look forward to seeing you there!
