CSC and University of Tampere are organizing a virtual event about practical research data management and data documentation in long term research projects. We will hear at least two researchers talking about their experiences, methods and ways of working.

Practical data management and data documentation plays a key role in long term research projects. The availability and comprehensibility of documentation must be ensured throughout the long process. It is vital that the data is understandable both for e.g. new researchers in the project and for the potential data reusers. In this session, we will hear how data has been described over the years, what has been agreed on practical data management issues, whether methods have changed over time and what difficulties researchers have encountered in their data management.
