This year's University-wide call for new Data Champions is now open.
Are you passionate about good data practices? As a Data Champion, you will be a local advocate for good research data management (RDM), supporting researchers in areas such as data organisation, storage and sharing.
Data Champions promote good RDM and data sharing in a variety of ways. Some examples include:
- Holding one-to-one or group discussions about RDM
- Delivering discipline-specific workshop sessions on data handling and related topics in their departments/institutions
- Promoting or participating in the development of data management tools
- Participating in open research studies
- Developing RDM advocacy materials for dissemination
- Raising awareness of RDM in your department or institution
- Promote to research staff and students the principles and responsibilities outlined in the University of Cambridge Research Data Management Policy Framework
