The Data Champions program at the CUHK Library is designed to promote data management best practices and foster a culture of data sharing and reuse among researchers. The program involves a network of volunteers who advocate for good data management practices within their faculties and provide support to their fellow students or colleagues. Data Champions receive training and resources from the Library to help them in their role, and they participate in regular meetings and events to share their experiences and learn from each other. The program aims to create a community of data-savvy researchers who can help drive the adoption of data management practices across the CUHK community.
Data Champions 2025 marks the second year of the Data Champions Program. During this event, we will introduce the newly appointed Data Champions from various faculties to the CUHK community. The event will also feature a faculty panel discussion on research data management topics with members from the Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Arts, and Faculty of Social Science. |
