From November 24-26, VPC data stewards Kaspars Bērziņš, Daina Kosīte, Mikus Melderis, Kristaps Oškalns, and Gita Rozenberga visited Ventspils University of Applied Sciences. Their goal was to introduce the basics of research data management and discuss possible regulations for the institution’s research data management with the university management.
During the visit, data stewards led several workshops on topics such as Open Science, data management, sensitive data processing, and long-term data preservation and sharing. Students, researchers, and administration representatives actively participated in the workshops.
In discussions with university management, it was discussed how data curators can provide support by developing research data management guidelines and creating an institutional research data collection in the DataverseLV repository.
Many thanks to Santa Kalvāne, Deputy Head of the Science and Development Department, for her support in organizing and hosting the visit!
Presentations from the seminars are available to all interested parties.
