Meeting objectives
 
The objective of this meeting is to welcome everyone in the newly established Engaging Researchers With Research Data Interest Group, collectively agree on a common framework of activities, and begin work. This will be the first plenary session of the group as a formally established RDA Interest Group. The group was represented at BoF sessions at two previous RDA plenary meetings in order to develop a better understanding of the group’s dynamic and scan demanding areas for future work.
 
Many interesting initiatives are utilised by research institutions around the world to effectively engage with their research communities about research data. However, typically the only way to learn about these activities is to either attend a conference where a speaker explains their initiative or to already know someone who is engaged in that type of work. Relying on these opportunities to exchange good practice disadvantages those who cannot attend conferences and those who are just starting with research data management and don’t yet have robust professional connections. Our group addresses these problems by providing a network facilitating discussions and exchanging good practices. This network will focus on how to effectively engage with researchers about research data and developing resources to help research organisations increase their researcher engagement. A great example of the latter is the “Engaging Researchers with Data Management: The Cookbook” which was produced in the context of our informal group activities. 
 
During the P16 meeting, we will have an initial short presentation on the work done so far by the group, invite a diverse set of speakers to share their experiences on engagement activities, and decide on the task force groups to be set up and start work on some of the following deliverables:

Research engagement toolkit for low income countries

Toolkit for researchers: how to engage librarians with data management

Guidelines for what NOT to do when trying to engage with researchers

Podcasts describing existing case studies

Toolkits for how to get started for selected case studies

Compelling arguments to convince researchers about the benefits of data management

Interview questions to convince researchers about the benefits of data management
