This new forum, created by the Digital Curation Centre in partnership with
the Research Information Network, will hold its first workshop in Manchester
on 19-20 March 2008. Themes to be explored are: the future shape of the
research data management community; and the provision of appropriate skills and effort for data curation. A briefing paper that explains the rationale of the forum is available. Intending delegates should e-mail the UKOLN Events Team (see “Related LINKS”) using the header “DATA FORUM”.
