Springer Nature and Wellcome Trust are partnering again this year to stage 'Better Science through Better Data 2018' (#scidata18). Now a staple of the research data conferences held throughout the year, this event will cover the benefits, challenges and practicalities of managing and publishing research data.

As with every year, the event will have a focus on the needs of early career researchers, such as data skills, career progression, and good practice for sharing data alongside peer-reviewed publications. The event provides the opportunity to see real life examples from researchers of innovative approaches to data sharing and reuse, as well as demos of tools and resources available to help them, and their research community, make the best use of their research data.

The event will involve a number of short “lightning” talks and demos from researchers and students presenting case studies of research data sharing, data reuse and associated tools in action. Submissions to present a lightning talk will open in May 2018.

The Programme Committee will be announced in the coming weeks, with the draft programme being released later in the year.
