Workshop - Introduction to DMPs

A Data Management Plan (DMP) is a set of ~25 questions that helps researchers think about the research data in their project.

By completing a DMP you will be working towards:

•    Setting out consistent strategies for how your data will be managed
•    Identifying strengths and weaknesses in your current practices 
•    Preparing the data for future reuse, preservation, and sharing
•    Reducing the overall cost of research by increasing project efficiencies

This workshop is for: 

• Undergraduate Students
• Graduate Students
• Faculty
• UVic Staff

This workshop is for a general audience; no previous knowledge of DMPs or research data management is required. It is applicable to those supporting, participating, or conducting Tri-Agency supported research. DMPs are relevant to all academic disciplines. 

By the end of this workshop, students will be able to:

1. Understand the importance of responsible research data management

2. Be familiar with the DMP Assistant

3. Be familiar with DMP & RDM considerations
