An effective Data Management Plan (DMP) is an essential step in making your data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). A well-crafted DMP serves as a comprehensive blueprint for managing all data throughout your project and beyond its completion. The better your plan, the smoother your research process will be, thanks to good organization, storage, coding, and clear documentation. Additionally, a robust DMP can significantly enhance the impact of your data, facilitating reuse, collaborations, and citations in the future.
In the session, you will receive practical guidance, examples, and best‑practice tips to help you understand the DMP requirements and apply them to your own project. By the end of the workshop, you will have begun drafting your own DMP and gained a clear understanding of what is expected in each section.
GSMS PhD-students and beginning researchers at the UMCG
(This workshop is not limited to PhD-students and beginning researchers. More experienced researchers and research support staff involved in scientific research at the UMCG are also welcome to register. However, please note that this workshop is primarily designed for PhD-students and beginning researchers.)
The DMP workshop is designed to be a highly interactive session that helps you confidently begin drafting your DMP. During the workshop, you will receive practical tips, examples, and guidance on how to approach each section of the DMP, with plenty of time to start working on your own plan. Data Stewards from the UMCG Digital Competence Center (DCC) will be present throughout the session to answer questions and support you as you get started.
This workshop builds on the Research Data Management Awareness e-module, which is a prerequisite for successful participation.
If you already have a draft DMP, you are welcome to send it to the DCC via an email [email protected]. You will receive feedback and the opportunity for a one‑on‑one discussion to help you further refine and improve your document.
2 hours
Participation is free of charge.
This workshop was created by the UMCG Digital Competence Center (DCC).
