Upcoming Workshops
Do you ever wonder how others on campus are managing their research data? Have you run into data challenges you would like to discuss with others who are engaged in similar work? Do you have a unique research data workflow you'd like to tell others about?
Join us for a virtual gathering of students, faculty, and staff that share an interest in discussing research data strategies, workflows, and challenges. This meeting will provide a chance for us to discuss things that we can do to build an active community on campus for fostering discussion of research data topics. All are welcome to attend and be a part of the discussion.
Join us Friday, April 24, from 1-2 pm for our virtual Finding Funding With the Pivot Database workshop!
Learn about Pivot and how to take advantage of its well-developed features for finding funding opportunities. Topics will include creating Pivot profiles and profile matching; strategies for searching; and finding collaborators. More information about Pivot is available here: https://guides.lib.utexas.edu/findfunding/pivot.
