Since last year, every faculty at Maastricht University (UM) has a dedicated data steward. What are their tasks and how do they support researchers? We interviewed Erik Jansen, the first data steward of UM Library. He told us about his role, achievements, experiences and more.
Metadata play an essential role in making your research data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable). In the metadata video below you can learn what metadata are, what types of metadata exist and why metadata are important.
At Maastricht University, we offer a number of tools to help researchers manage their research data. One of these tools is DataverseNL. Not heard of DataverseNL yet? Then get to know the tool with a few basic questions.
Do you support researchers in handling research data and are you in need of updates on the latest developments in the field of Research Data Management at Maastricht University, Maastricht UMC+ and beyond? Or would you like the opportunity to collaborate with RDM supporters on new services and products to support researchers with RDM? Then join the RDM Experts Community of UM and MUMC+.
The Maastricht University Library organised several Research Data Management training and workshops in academic year 2021-2022. Maria shares her experiences and plans for next year’s training and workshops.
