Kickoff seminar
Join DTU’s Research Data Community Kickoff
Do you work with research data, data management, documentation, governance, infrastructure, or research support? Then mark your calendar for 3 September and join colleagues from across DTU for the kickoff of a new Research Data Community initiative.
Research data plays an increasingly important role across all disciplines, yet many of us face similar challenges while working in different departments, institutes, and functions. Valuable solutions and expertise often exist across DTU, but opportunities to exchange experiences and learn from one another can be limited.
This kickoff event is an opportunity to bring those conversations together.
Whether you are a researcher, data steward, data manager, research support professional, coordinator, IT specialist, or simply work with research data as part of your role, you are invited to take part in an afternoon of discussions, lightning talks, and collaborative activities focused on research data support at DTU.
Most importantly, participants will help identify the topics, challenges, and opportunities that matter most to the community. The insights gathered during the event will help inform future activities and areas of focus.
Why attend?
- Meet colleagues from across DTU who work with research data and related services
- Discover existing solutions, tools, and practices
- Share your experiences, challenges, and needs
- Contribute ideas for future knowledge-sharing and collaboration
- Help shape a community designed to support research data work across DTU.
