Liz Lyon, Director of UKOLN, recently gave a presentation at the annual JISC/CNI Meeting held in the Carlton Hotel, Edinburgh. Entitled Mind the Gap: Reflections on Data Policies and Practice, her talk explored open science and data policies from an institutional perspective and focused in particular on the perceived gaps between policy and practice. She also provided snapshots of both current practice and future data policy challenges, and described progress with DCC Data Management Planning tools and guidance, to help researchers manage their data more effectively. Her presentation is now available.
