12th Research Data Management Roundtable

"So you want to share data in your (institutional*) repository…"

July 14th, 2020
Virtual Roundtable via Zoom
9:00 AM – 12:00 PM EDT

Join us for a morning of data repository do’s, don’ts, and everything in-between on July 14th, 2020, in an online format (in Zoom) that will include speakers and a roundtable discussion. We will start with a panel of speakers with diverse experiences establishing, administering, and troubleshooting data repositories who will discuss topics ranging from generating administrative and researcher buy-in to cross-departmental collaboration and technical support. This will be followed by a roundtable discussion in which attendees will explore  their experiences with the unique benefits, challenges, and surprises, pleasant or otherwise, of managing data in repositories.

Registration is closed. 

*So you want to share data in a repository, whether institutional or otherwise, including those managed by others, potentially, but not necessarily including, 3rd party cloud hosted services: a panel and roundtable discussion...
