Raising the profile of research data management: the UCA story

During the course of this project there were three key achievements: contribution to the Environmental Assessment Report, the composition of a discussion paper 'Towards a Research Data Management Policy for UCA' and as a result of this the creation of a Research Data Management (RDM) policy. The areas of communication, dissemination, collaboration and an increased understanding of research data management are four key areas which have emerged as a result of this project. Underpinning these areas has been the development of relationships with key stake-holders within UCA and also the participation in external events and training. The following case study will outline the background, challenges, approach and lessons learned from the experience of working on the Kaptur project
