RDM What is research data management?

“Research data management concerns the organisation of data, from its entry to the research cycle through to the dissemination and archiving of valuable results. It aims to ensure reliable verification of results, and permits new and innovative research built on existing information."

FAIR data management and openness of research data can not only bring significant benefits to researchers themselves and to the entire community, but are also amongst the main requirements of funders and scientific journals, and National Research Evaluation Agencies as well, on the basis of the commitments defined by the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment, are requesting researchers to include datasets among research outputs for evaluation purposes, therefore here on the right are some useful resources to help you

GenOA week 2025

A whole week dedicated to discussions on open science and its development in the research world.

The title of this year’s conference is ‘Who owns our knowledge?’, a provoking title aiming to uncover how proprietary logics in academia lead to unhelpful and undesirable consequences for all researchers and for society more broadly. In the attemp to encourage the dissemination of knowledge and practices on open science, the GenOA week, as always, stimulates debates and dsicussions from researchers.

Feel free to join the GenOA week, online and free of charge, by signing up at this link.
You can consult the interesting agenda here!

GenOA Week 2025 is organized by the University of Genoa, IIT (Italian Institute of Technology), INFN (National Institute of Nuclear Physics), CNR (National Research Council), and AIB Liguria (Italian Library Association – Liguria Section), with the patronage of the Italian Library Association.
