UNICA Scholarly Communication webinar on Research data management

Promoted by the University of Vienna, 11 October 2022


Research data management is a key pillar of Open Science. Among the eight ambitions of the European Union OS policy, some integrate the data at their core: Open Data sharing according to FAIR principles, research integrity and reproducibility of scientific results and the creation of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

In order to make those a reality, it is crucial for researchers to be supported during the research data lifecycle, from planning, storing, to publishing and sharing, as well as to preserving the data.

Librarians are increasingly trained and ready to play a decisive role. However, huge challenges are still to be tackled. Beyond technical issues, such as storing needs or platforms interoperability, intellectual property rights and data protection are boundaries to be taken into account.

The webinar provided insights on Research data management from the European, the university and the field perspective, and also addressed the topic of FAIR principles.
