National Training Expert Group
As the research data management landscape continues to evolve, it is crucial that researchers and data professionals have the information and training they need to stay up-to-date with the latest developments and best practices. The National Training Expert Group (NTEG) oversees a range of specific projects that collaboratively develop and deliver both training and training resources to support all aspects of RDM skill development for a variety of stakeholders across Canada.
Current areas of interest include developing and implementing a national RDM training strategy, supporting initiatives such as webinars and “workshops in a box”, and working with Portage’s Expert and Working Groups to develop domain-specific, researcher-focused training.
