Research Data Management Symposium 2021

Your research data deserves your care! Research Data Management (RDM) is important for researchers as well as the university, because data is a valuable asset. Well-managed data can optimize it’s research value, re-usability and research reproducibility.

Good RDM requires new skills, supportive infrastructure, keen awareness and conducive culture. In this symposium, HKUST researchers will look into different aspects of RDM through four seminars, and learn practical skills in Data Management Plan writing from a workshop by Digital Curation Centre. The four seminars will cover:

• Research Data Integrity and Academic Publishing
• Research Data and Retraction
• Why Would You Care About Data Management?
• How to Manage Data: Data Stewardship and FAIR Skills

The seminars consist of speakers’ presentations as well as discussion sessions hosted by HKUST professors. This virtual symposium is organized by the Library. All HKUST staff and postgraduates are welcome to join. For enquiry, contact the Research Support Services team (lbrs@ust.hk).
