Project R-13198

Title

Development of a research data management strategy in Higher Education and Research Institutes in a Latin American context (Education)

Abstract

The Research Data Management (RDM) is based on the so-called FAIR Data Principles, whose fundamental objective is to make scientific data freely findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable, thus promoting (1) collaboration between researchers, (2) the genesis of new research, and (3) the socialisation of knowledge. The adoption of these principles for data management in institutions has become by now the Good Practices standard of RDM. The main goal of this project is to develop capabilities to promote the adoption of good practices of Research Data Management in Cuban, Peruvian and Bolivian institutions of higher education, also contributing to improving this topic in the Latin American context.
