Research data is valuable — we spend time (and often, money) in collecting it, and it is fundamental to creating knowledge. Because of this value, we have a responsibility to ensure that data will continue to be useful, minimally to ourselves but ideally also to others. This workshop introduced participants to basic ideas of data management, which are oriented to making data sustainable in line with two important sets of principles, FAIR and CARE.

The aims of the workshop were to:

• increase awareness of the importance of sustainable data
• introduce basic principles for managing data sustainably
• demonstrate simple methods which implement those principles
• give participants hands-on experience with tools for data management.
