Executive Summary
The intrinsic value of data is the cornerstone of research organisations, therefore data management techniques to preserve and optimise the return on investment in data must continuously evolve to keep pace with its rapid proliferation. Research data must be managed in ways that are sufficiently flexible to support the wide spectrum of research activities and facilitate new insights while pre-empting security threats and minimising costs. This document outlines the key considerations of research data management from multiple stakeholder perspectives and presents solutions designed to futureproof institutions’ most invaluable asset.
