This workshop will introduce participants to the core concepts of “data stewardship” and the major components of data management across the research lifecycle. Participants should come away from this introductory unit appreciating the scope of what data stewardship entails, feeling confident in how best to proceed through the research lifecycle. The Data Stewardship workshop series will take place in the Fine Visualization Lab in the Engineering Library.

In this hands-on workshop, we will be creating a simple, customizable website portfolio suitable for academic researchers using GitHub Pages. GitHub allows for one free website per GitHub account. If you do not have a GitHub account, don't worry, we will set one up). Space is limited! Please use the registration link below. Location: Fine Visualization Lab, Lewis Science Library, A-15
