Digital Curation Centre (DCC) Data Management Roadshow: Glasgow
June 22-24 2011
http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/data-management-roadshows/dcc-roadshow-glasgow

Ethics boards, research councils and funding bodies are increasingly 
seeking evidence that adequate and appropriate provisions for data 
management and curation are in place for all university research 
activity - whether externally funded or not. In addition, most data 
management activities are expected to be supported by the researcher's 
home institution.

Are you a senior manager working to develop policies and strategies to 
improve research and data management at your institution? Are you 
interested to hear from others facing the same challenge?

Are you a researcher producing data? Are you confused about funding body 
and research council mandates and how you can meet them?

Do you work to support researchers at your institution? Are you 
struggling to find ways of better supporting data management with fewer 
staff and financial resources to hand?

If any of the above apply to you, you could benefit from attending the 
next DCC Data Management Roadshow which will take place at the 
University of Glasgow Library on June 22nd-24th 2011. This free event 
will bring together participants from around Scotland to share examples 
of current practice and emerging strategies and provide an opportunity 
to discuss ideas on how to improve data management in light of current 
economic constraints.

The event will run over three days and will provide participants with 
advice and guidance tailored to a range of different roles and 
responsibilities within their institutions. For more information and to
