The University of Waterloo's Research Data Management Institutional Strategy
- Research Data Management Institutional Strategy
At the University of Waterloo, our Research Data Management (RDM) Institutional Strategy responds to the Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy, which mandated the creation of an RDM strategy for all institutions by March 2023. The “agencies believe that research data collected through the use of public funds should be responsibly and securely managed and be, where ethical, legal and commercial obligations allow, available for reuse by others.”
Here at Waterloo, we see this as an opportunity to help foster research excellence by developing an RDM strategy that meets the diverse needs of Waterloo researchers.
After two years of research, feedback, and extensive consultations, the Research RDM working group co-chairs Alison Hitchens (associate university librarian, collections, technology and scholarly communication) and Ian Milligan (associate vice-president, research oversight and analysis) are thrilled to share the RDM Institutional Strategy Plan.
