Data management planning: Where we've been and where we are going next

This workshop provides overview, analysis and opportunity for discussion of recent developments in data management planning policies and tools in the UK, US, and other countries. Organizers and speakers include representatives from DMP Tool (USA) and DMP Online (UK). We will first update attendees on current data management policies. We will then describe and discuss the current landscape of data management planning, including all relevant stakeholders (funders, institutions, publishers, and repositories). The second half of the workshop will be a facilitated discussion of the future of data management, with an emphasis on what services and materials will better enable good data stewardship practices among researchers.
