"An introduction to managing and sharing research data.  The session will outline important data management tasks and potential pitfalls, the value of a data management and outputs plan for every research project and introduce the Leeds data management plan template. You will be sent a link to supporting material which you may find useful to review before attending the online webinar.  The course is aimed at PGRs but any researchers and research support staff are likely to find the content useful.

2. Describe the forms research data can take and be aware of the data lifecycle
3. Consider storage/handling data, including sensitive data
4. Plan metadata and documentation so data remains useful for the long term
5. Understand the research data expectations of research funders and the University of Leeds
6. Evaluate whether data should be shared and understand when and how this can be done
