The Office of Scholarly Communication at Cambridge University Libraries is delighted to announce a week long series of webinars featuring topics surrounding the research data management landscape. Cambridge Data Week will be held between 23 and 27 November 2020.
In a series of talks, panel discussions and interactive Q&A sessions, researchers, funders, publishers and other stakeholders will explore and debate different approaches to research data management. Each day for a week we will be addressing key questions on specific topics such as innovative ways of supporting researchers with data management, sustainable models and levels of expectation for peer reviewers when it comes to data, successes and future trends in data reuse, and the relationship between reproducibility and data management. All events will offer the opportunity for questions from the audience and we hope to encourage discussions around these topics.
UPDATE (AFTER THE EVENT): The YouTube playlist hosting all recordings of Cambridge Data Week 2020 is now available. Alternatively, all the recordings, transcripts and available presentations are present in Apollo, the University of Cambridge repository.
Below are the blogs summarising each webinar and answering some of the questions which there was no time to explore during the live sessions. The blogs are all hosted in our blog platform Unlocking Research.
