Abstract

This was a one day workshop (7 September 2023) on Research Data Management for Research Support professionals led by Dr. Kirsty Merrett, Research Data Management, University of Bristol Library Services.

Kirsty delivered two training workshops to selected representatives from the Library, Research and Enterprise, Information Compliance Unit, AFBI and faculty academic staff. The purpose of the event was to highlight some of the principal problems faced by the University of Bristol with regards to RDM - sensitive data, storage, ethics and consent, funder mandates - and some practical solutions and lessons learned, sharing good practice with a peer institution. These lessons are all the more resonant in the light of legacy data complications at Bristol and the wider context of contemporary data breaches across the sector at large.

Kirsty spoke passionately about this issue and impressed upon all attendees (across 2 sessions) that research data management has many stakeholders; all of whom have a vested interest in getting this complex area right! Getting it "wrong" means reputational damage, breach of ethics, data loss, even loss of potential funding opportunities or future projects. It was a very energetic event, generating lots of questions, discussion and potential for exciting follow-up.

The event was organised and arranged by Dr. Michael O'Connor, Research Data Librarian at Queen's University Belfast.
