Launched in October 2020, this club/working group focuses on ELIXIR-UK activities helping researchers to manage their data.
We welcome participation from data stewards, support staff and researchers interested in Research Data Management (RDM) in the life sciences. We meet over Zoom, on the first Tuesday of every month. These regular meetings focus on sharing experience and signposting new resources, communities and training. This club also forms a point of contact for a growing pan-European network of data expertise within ELIXIR.
If you wish to be involved in the group, please sign up for the mailing list. Your request will be processed and you will be added to the group.
Activities
Projects have focused on capacity building and training in Research Data Management, and include:
- ELIXIR-UK FAIR Data Stewardship Training: funded by the UKRI innovation scholars award and partnering the ELIXIR-UK training working group to build and deliver national training FAIR data stewardship using ELIXIR-UK knowledge and resources.
- ELIXIR-UK FAIR Data Stewardship Fellowship: a chief deliverable of the UKRI innovation scholars award, to build and support a community of Data Steward Fellows in the UK. This community will contribute and embed Research Data Management know-how and training activities into UK Universities, Institutes and research communities.
- RDMkit: an online guide containing good data management practices applicable to research projects from the beginning to the end.
- FAIR Cookbook: an online resource for the Life Sciences with recipes that help you to make and keep data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR).
- ELIXIR-CONVERGE: a project funded by the European Commission to build expert networks, training and toolkits for Research Data Management. Aims include activities to position, sustain and assess impact of these resources, as well as the mobilisation of resources to enable data management and sharing in COVID-19 research.
