The Designing and Implementing a Good Data Management Plan webinar series will take place online on 14 and 24 September 2026 at 13:00 CEST and will be presented by Maria Vivas-Romero, Data Steward and Research Data Management (RDM) Training Specialist at Maastricht UMC+ DataHub. The first session will introduce the foundations of research data management and provide guidance on the purpose, key components, and planning of a Data Management Plan (DMP). The second session will build on these concepts through a practical workshop, guiding participants through the development of a DMP using practical examples, tools, and approaches to address common challenges. Together, the sessions will support participants in developing effective DMPs that promote good data stewardship, reproducibility, compliance, and alignment with the FAIR principles.

Target audience
This webinar series is particularly relevant for researchers, data stewards, clinicians, students, and other professionals involved in research data management who wish to strengthen their knowledge and practical skills in developing and implementing FAIR and effective Data Management Plans.
