CARL Portage: The RDM journey continues...

The story of Portage is one of successes, challenges, and hope. As Canada's national, library-based research data management network, the goal of Portage is to coordinate and expand existing expertise, services, and infrastructure in support of academic researchers across Canada. As Portage enters its fourth year of operation, it is useful to reflect upon our journey with stories that illustrate Portage successes, that describe how we're addressing current challenges, and that anticipate, with hope and determination, continued progress toward a collaborative and productive RDM ecosystem in Canada. Speakers in this session will rely upon Portage-sponsored surveys and initiatives, and consultations with stakeholders from across the country, to conduct a retrospective examination of our journey to date in order to share stories of successes, challenges, and gaps in the Canadian RDM ecosystem. Our vision of the future will be informed by these experiences and by emerging policy statements and funding scenarios. Participants will leave with a better sense of what Portage is about, what Portage has accomplished, and what's coming around the next turn in our RDM journey.
