Exploring Data Curation and Management in Physical Sciences: PSDI Roadshow @ Southampton

Event Description

The Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI), The University of Southampton, and the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) are jointly hosting an in-person, one-day event to explore data curation and data management in physical sciences.

Via presentations and discussions, the event will enable knowledge exchange around current practices, challenges, and future directions in the curation and management of research data in physical sciences, as well as foster networking and collaboration.

The event will highlight PSDI’s work and, importantly, gather community input for identifying future priorities and activities that will support data management and curation in the physical sciences.

The event is part of the PSDI UK Roadshow on Data Curation and Data Management in Physical Sciences. Click here to see our Cambridge event.
