‘Opening up Research’ is a collaborative effort involving the Office for Open Research, the School of Engineering Open Research Lead, representatives from the United Kingdom Reproducibility Network (UKRN), and Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute.
Our aim is to promote and facilitate open research initiatives and practices within The University of Manchester. We recognise the importance of transparency, inclusivity, and collaboration in research, and we are committed to creating an environment where these principles thrive.
This year’s events programme is closely aligned with the Open Research Skills Framework, which provides essential guidance on fostering openness throughout the research lifecycle. At this event we will explore the open data theme: managing and sharing research data transparently to ensure that data can be reused, validated, and built upon by other researchers.
Join our multi-disciplinary panel for an interactive discussion on the use of open and accessible data in modern research, the challenges of both using and sharing open data, and the future of open data research methods. The session will include a panel discussion, with time for tea, coffee, and networking with other attendees.

Opening Up Research events are open to all University staff, including professional services staff, postgraduate researchers, and early career researchers. Attending these events is a great way for research staff to utilise their allocated professional development time and postgraduate researchers can log workshop attendance in eProg (via MyManchester).
This event is organised in collaboration with the University of Manchester Research Data Stewardship Community.
Please note this event is for The University of Manchester staff and students only.
