The Data Curation Network and GO FAIR US are joining forces to hold a Data Policy Roundtable that we’ve titled, “University Data Governance and FAIR Data Environments,” on January 19th, 2023, at 9am PST/12 pm EST. With the academic research enterprise changing so rapidly, the broad community of practice around research data is working in a new policy environment to translate, design, and deliver implementation tools and services. This Roundtable will offer leading edge insights on the evolving research environment for academia.. Register for the event here!
