About the seminar:

Learn how research data is processed and enabled for re-use through our self-deposit repository, ReShare, whilst finding out more about our research data management training and international best practice. Finally hear how to browse our catalogue and website to find and access the data you need.

Home to the largest digital collection of social sciences and population research data, we hold data that can enable research as varied as the experience of illness, child development, access to care, lifestyle behaviour, subjective physical and mental well-being, diet and nutrition, immunisation programmes, attitudes towards health service provision, the mechanics of policy making, government expenditure and service coverage.
