Community Consultation: U of T’s Draft Institutional Research Data Management Strategy (Nov. 16)

Session Description

Join us! All U of T appointed faculty, librarians, staff, and students are invited to participate in the upcoming community consultations on U of T’s draft Institutional Research Data Management Strategy.  
Whether you work with texts, numbers, graphical representations, diaries, clinical trial data, surveys, or any other research data, this is your opportunity to help shape the University of Toronto’s Institutional Research Data Management (RDM) Strategy and future directions for supports! 
The first draft of this strategy is posted on the Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) Portal. This draft strategy outlines how the university will guide the direction for expected research data practices, support services, and resources available. We are seeking input from the expansive U of T research community.
