The next set of Research Data Management Seminars, hosted by the UVic Libraries, will take place on the following dates in the McPherson Libraries Classroom 130.

  • Thursday, October 20, 2016         2:00pm -3:30pm

  • Tuesday November 15, 2016       10:00am -11:30am

If you are planning on attending, and/or, are sending graduate students, please have everyone register to use the Data Management Planning Tool,  “DMP Assistant”, in advance of the workshop.

  • DMP Assistant: https://portagenetwork.ca/.
  • Select “Sign up” and follow the directions
  • You can theoretically use any email address
  • UVic is now listed as an Organization on the list, so chose UVic [rather than Portage]
  • We will set aside some time in the seminar for signing onto this tool and if you are already signed up it will streamline the timeline.

We hope to see you, and/or, your Grad students, at this Seminar!  The Seminar description is below.

Please forward this email to others in your Department  who may be interested.
