In this presentation, Kevin Ashley, Director of the Digital Curation Centre (DCC), explores the importance of effective research data management (RDM). He emphasizes how good RDM practices can lead to increased research impact, compliance with funding mandates, and enhanced data reusability. Key topics include the development of data management plans, institutional policies, and the necessary tools and services to support researchers. By ensuring data is findable, accessible, and reusable, institutions can significantly contribute to scientific advancement and accountability.
