January 2021 has been a very busy start to the year for the Library Research Services Team. We have been out and about (well, in a virtual environment only 😊) engaging with some of our internal and external stakeholders and communities. These are always really useful events to be part of, as it really helps to hear the conversations around research activities, challenges, and successes, both locally and in the sector.  A couple of highlights of our engagement activities Team attendance at the University of Leicester College of Life Sciences ECRs and Research staff meet the Deans event Delivering an introduction to RDM training session for the Central England NERC Training Alliance (CENTA) Doctoral Training Partnership Co-delivering a presentation  Figshare Fest 2021  with Professor Panos Vostanis  on our University of Leicester case study on research data management (RDM) and sharing research outputs.
