Preparing your data for reuse webinar |
| Maximise the impact of your data by starting to think about your data as a potential asset and preparing for reuse from the start.
Joe Day (Cancer Research Horizons) joins the next webinar in our data series to guide you through preparing your data for the highest potential of reuse and the support we provide to facilitate this, including in commercial collaborations.
Through this webinar, you’ll learn about providing consent language and ethical approvals, planning for integration and standardisation and how to plan the structure of access oversight mechanisms.
Tune in on 22 January 12-1 pm and ask your questions. |

| | | | | | | We need your help identifying current practices, challenges and opportunities for improving environmental sustainability in research.
The growing impact that biomedical research has on the environment is becoming increasingly evident. Change is needed, even if that means altering the way we approach research and revising the practices that contribute negatively to the environment.
We’re committed to delivering cutting-edge research more responsibly, and your views will help us to support our research community in adopting more sustainable methods and practices. | | |
| | | | | | | From next week, we’ll be inviting you to participate in our new survey from our policy team. Your contribution will be vital to ensure that real researchers’ perspectives are heard by change makers in government and that policies are well evidenced and informed.
Your insights make a real difference and have previously helped guide policymaking. We hope the evidence from this survey will be equally impactful, but we need you to ensure we get enough responses.
Stay tuned as you’ll hear more about this survey via email soon. | | |
