On February 14th, join the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) and the National Open Research Forum (NORF) for a 1-hour webinar all about Irish data policies, highlighting emerging trends in policy recommendations that are helping to shape the Irish research landscape.
Research data policies are the backbone of Open Research, ensuring organisational transparency and accountability by clearly communicating specific expectations for responsible data practice in different contexts. They are also useful tools for demonstrating an organisation’s alignment with certain communities of practice, international standards, and legal and ethical frameworks. The FAIRsharing registry is a useful tool to compare the ways in which openly published policies draw on similar principles or services, providing insight into how best practice in research data management is being interpreted locally.
Attendees will learn about:
- the results of a FAIR-IMPACT support project to add Irish data policies to the FAIRsharing registry;
- resources for data policy development, including the FAIR enabling data policy checklist; and
- common trends gathered from policy metadata published in the FAIRsharing registry.
This webinar is for:
Research Administrators, Funders, Policy Authors, Research Data Stewards and Open Research Support Staff at Higher Education Institutions
This webinar is part of a series of events organised globally under the 2025 Love Data Week theme, Whose Data Is It, Anyway?. The webinar will be recorded and made available on DRI’s Vimeo channel after the event.
