Research Data Management (in-person)

Oliver Bridle

Thursday, 19 November 2026, 12.30pm to 2pm

Research data is often at the heart of scientific projects, it’s what you spend hours in the lab generating or in the field collecting. It forms the basis of your analysis and underpins your arguments in papers and theses.

In this session we introduce RDM and the practical skill of developing Data Management Plans to manage your own data successfully. 

The Research Data Management (RDM) course answers these questions and more:
