1. Open Data lunchtime session –15 June
Monday 15 June, 12:30 – 13:30, Mill Lane Lecture Room 10
Most research funders (research councils, charities and foundations) have introduced policies on research data management. The general expectation is that data from publicly funded research projects should be made openly available with as few restrictions as possible.
If you have any questions or if you would like to know more about research data requirements and help offered by the University of Cambridge, come to the ‘Open Data’ session (open to all researchers, staff and research students at the University of Cambridge).
