Workshop: Institutional Policy and Guidance for Research Data

The second EIDCSR Workshop took place on 29th of March at Rewley House in Oxford. Following policy development work undertaken at the University as part of the project, the event focused on issues around the development and implementation of institutional policy and guidance for research data:
* data management and sharing policy at different levels, such as research council, HEI institutions and research departments;
* in what ways research records and data management policy and guidance can be useful to researchers, and how to involve researchers in their development;
* how to encourage the implementation of institutional policy at a local or departmental level;
* how to encourage across the institution the sharing of best practice in research records and data management.

A particularly interesting contribution was the set of presentations from Melbourne University.
