In this introductory workshop, learn about research data management best practices and how investing a small amount of time in organizing your data now can save you a lot of time and prevent future headaches. We will go over best practices for data planning, storage, organization, preservation, and sharing.
McMaster’s Research Data Management (RDM) Community of Practice is back! We meet the last Thursday of every month to learn together as researchers and research support staff across all levels of RDM expertise. Data Management Plans (DMPs) are growing as a requirement for grants, from the Tri-Agencies, to NIH, and others. They can also be a helpful document to guide best practices—either as a process document for your research group or as an individual researcher. Join our RDM Community of Practice to discuss DMP development!
Universities are not immune from data breaches and cyber attacks. Learn to protect your research data at this webinar with McMaster experts in IT Security and Cybersecurity.

This webinar will also include a case study: If we take a hypothetical research workplace (such as a lab or office), what are its potential Information Security weak spots and how might we fix them?
