Ready For BioData Management? – Introduction to Data Management Plans (Online) is an introductory one-day course aiming at disseminating Data Management best practices and teaching the basics of making and using Data Management Plans (DMPs) in the context of research activities. It is organized by BioData.pt and sponsored by the Portuguese node of the Research Data Alliance.
