Building on the success of the GBI Spotlight on Career Paths, Global BioImaging, together with German BioImaging is facilitating the GBI Spotlight on Data webinar series — a global initiative focused on research data management for imaging scientists and core facilities.
Led by the International Image Data Management Working Group, the series introduces a “10 Steps” framework for Research Data Management in IMAGING CORE FACILITIES, explored month by month through interactive sessions, discussions, and hands-on examples from across the world.
The next GBI Spotlight on Data episode, “Start early with a (Research Data Management) Plan,” explores how a practical, living Data Management Plan can help imaging facilities and imaging scientists manage data more effectively throughout the entire research lifecycle.
Drawing on real-world experience from the imaging community, this chapter discusses what a DMP should include, why it should evolve with your project, and how early planning can support better data stewardship, collaboration, and reuse.
Second episode: 23 July | 8:00am CEST (4:00pm AEST)
Replay + live Q&A: 23 July | 5:00pm CEST (24 July | 1:00am AEST)
