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.
