UDCC Forum: Introducing the Research Data Board

The UDCC network convenes its Forum on the second Tuesday of every month. These meetings typically consist of two parts. The first half is an open agenda, curated for community members to share their work and interests across the network. The second hour features a deeper dive into a particular hot topic.

The UDCC Forum is open to all colleagues at Utrecht University interested in digital competencies.

On April 14th, our special session will introduce the Research Data Board to the UDCC in a discussion led by RDB Chair Marc Bierkens.

From the RDB website: "The Research Data Board is Utrecht University's central coordinating body for everything related to research data and the software developed for this purpose. The board provides strategic advice to the Executive Board on how data can be made available in a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), secure, ethical and sustainable manner."

This interactive and dialogical session seeks to build knowledge together. All are welcome.

What is the UDCC?

The UDCC is the network of all research support teams at Utrecht University. We give support to scientists in the field of research data, software and infrastructure, whether you are working at a faculty, ITS, the library or another part of the university.

The UDCC network exists to traverse borders, increase visibility, and experience a sense of community in co-creating digital competencies to support research at Utrecht University. Together, research support staff weave diverse resources for research data, software, and infrastructure, building more resilient and robust modes of support by sharing knowledge and collectivising across the institution.

By combining our knowledge and strengths, together we can achieve results that would not be possible for individual teams.
