Dr Andrew Treloar, Director of Technology for the Australian National Data Service (ANDS), will be giving a seminar entitled Data Management: International Challenges, National Infrastructure and Institutional Responses – an Australian Perspective. It will be hosted by UKOLN at the University of Bath on Friday 1 April starting at 11.00. Booking details are available from the UKOLN Web site.

This seminar will consider the international challenges arising from the shift towards data-intensive research and the rapid uptake of instruments that produce very large data volumes. It will explain the role of and rationale for the Australian National Data Service, its different programmes, and the services that are being developed and taken up. It will also consider how different institutions in Australia are engaging with the Service. The seminar should be relevant to anyone with an interest in data management.
