# AT THE CROSSROADS OF RESEARCH DATA MANAGEMENT SERVICES 
 

All over the world universities and libraries have started the task of developing Research Data Management (RDM) services.

Ideally such initiatives aim to result in a COMPLETE SERVICE PORTFOLIO covering the entire research lifecycle :

  • Developments of repository infrastructures for the storage of data.

- - - See, for example, EUDAT: Research data infrastructure and European Open Science Cloud vision.

- - - See, for example, DSpace-GLAM based on DSpace-CRIS : Manage, Analyze & Preserve your digital heritage. 

  • Lecturing in Data Management.

- - - See, for example, the European Data Portal e-learning programme,
the 10 marine Research Data Things: a Free self-paced Learning Program, the Data Management and Data skills training with Data Carpentry and ELIXIR

  • …

# TOWARDS A COMPLETE SCENARIO TO SUPPORT  RDM SERVICES


RDM services are often seen as requiring a JOINT EFFORT from university, library, IT center, faculties and other stakeholders. Nevertheless, currently - -  nowhere in the world - - such a complete support scenario has been established.

This means that it is timely for actors in the various dimensions of such initiatives internationally to share their experiences, research and insights.

The upcoming Symposium in Göttingenin will explore this topic and hear lightening talks from research organisations that have started to offer such services in whole or in part on their campus.

Thus, the Symposium will provide a forum for universities and libraries to share their experience and to learn from each other.
