[IRTalk] Concordat on Open Research Data launched - Research Councils UK

[Hilton Gibson]

Four of the UK’s leading research organisations have, today, launched a
concordat that proposes a series of clear and practical principles for
working with research data.
​
The Concordat on Open Research Data  has been developed by a UK
multi-stakeholder group and is a set of expectations of best practice
reflecting the needs of the research community.
​
This concordat will help to ensure that research data gathered and
generated by members of the UK research community is made openly available
for use by others wherever possible; in a manner consistent with relevant
legal, ethical, disciplinary and regulatory frameworks and norms, and with
due regard to the costs involved.
