Research Data Management at UQ
See you at ResBaz Brisbane!
UQ Library will share a stall with RCC at Research Bazaar (ResBaz) Brisbane at QUT’s Gardens Point Campus on the event’s festival day on Thursday, 11 July.
Talk to us there during the lunch break about research data management resources and services available for UQ researchers.
While you’re there, also talk to RCC staff about data storage, high-performance computing, cloud computing, virtual laboratories, scientific workflows and data visualisation.
Before the festival day, ResBaz will have two days of workshops across 9–10 July. Workshops range from programming (e.g. R and Python), using online tools (e.g. OpenRefine, Omeka, Tinker and Galaxy Australia), and more general workshops, such as data storytelling, publishing and how to be a 21st Century academic.
ResBaz is a worldwide festival promoting the digital literacy emerging at the centre of modern research.
The aim of the event is to equip researchers from all career stages and disciplines with the digital skills and tools required to do their research better, faster and smarter.
Registration for Brisbane's three-day ResBaz is only $40.
