The 12th GDI Forum will take place in person at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança. As in previous years, the programme will span two days. It will include technical workshops, short talks and poster presentations on projects and best practices, a ‘Coffee with Data’ session and panel discussions.

This year, the forum will take place as part of the activities of the ReData project – Network for Research Data Management – enabling a number of synergies that will greatly benefit this joint event.

The aim of the annual GDI Forum event is to bring together and motivate the community of professionals and researchers involved in activities supporting research data management, with the aim of developing technical skills, leveraging knowledge and practices, and promoting awareness of national initiatives.

It is a space for training and discussion to exchange ideas, new initiatives, projects and best practices in support of research data management. The aim is to bring together managers of digital repositories and data centres, information technicians, librarians, archivists and data curators, IT specialists, researchers, data scientists and science managers from research institutions and science funding organisations.
