Workshops for researchers now available to book for 2024

Our Research Engagement team within Library Services is delighted to announce that they will be hosting further workshops throughout 2024 aimed at researchers and postgraduate researchers (PGRs) to enhance how they manage their research data.

Storing and sharing your research data: February and March workshops

How you can share data, give access permissions
The value open data will have to others.

LJMU IT Services will provide advice on a range of storage options. The right one will depend on how large your data set is and whether you are collaborating with internal or external colleagues.

The Research Engagement team will then also go through most frequently asked questions by research funders to enable you to write a data management plan or statement (depending on the funder) to submit as part of your application and how to get feedback before submission.
