Beyond the research data management (RDM) institutional strategy, tri-agency and institutional policies and directives, and supporting various RDM tools, an important aspect of RDM is training members of the research community. Up to now and for good reasons, training has focused on information professionals. However, the time has come to start sharing our knowledge with the research community, including researchers, students, and research office staff. This webinar will present the various ways used by three institutions from the Université du Québec network, what motivated this approach, and what are the next steps for training. We will talk about modes of communication, people’s availability, and ways to reach a very busy audience.
Speaker
