The UDCC network convenes its Forum on the second Tuesday of every month. The Forum is moveable - landing each month in a different location throughout UU. These meetings typically consist of two parts. The first half is an open agenda, curated for community members to share their work and interests across the network. The second hour features a deeper dive into a particular hot topic. The UDCC Forum is open to all colleagues at Utrecht University interested in digital competencies.

April 8th will be the next meeting of the UDCC Forum and will begin with an open agenda. The agenda document will be sent to participants to fill in one week prior to the event.

This month’s special session will reconsider the function and design of the Data Management Plan (DMP). Is this document an administrative burden, compliance tool, critical intervention, or conversation stimuli? How might we interrogate its form to surface the type of resource that we aspire toward?

Rethinking the DMP is facilitated by Frans de Liagre Böhl and Dorien Huijser.

We hope to see you at the UBU on April 8th.

What is the UDCC?

The UDCC is the network of all research support teams at Utrecht University. We give support to scientists in the field of research data, software and infrastructure, whether you are working at a faculty, ITS, the library or another part of the university.

The UDCC network exists to traverse borders, increase visibility, and experience a sense of community in co-creating digital competencies to support research at Utrecht University. Together, research support staff weave diverse resources for research data, software, and infrastructure, building more resilient and robust modes of support by sharing knowledge and collectivizing across the institution. By combining our knowledge and strengths, together we can achieve results that would not be possible for individual teams.
