Finding suitable storage solutions for your research data

Strong research data management (RDM) practices are required by funding agencies worldwide. In Canada, following the Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy  launch in 2021, researchers are increasingly being asked to develop data management plans as part of grant applications and to deposit data that directly supports research conclusions into a repository.

A team from the Centre for Advanced Computing, IT Services, the Library, and the Vice-Principal Research worked together to develop a Research Data Storage Finder tool designed to help researchers identify and assess storage options and services based on their specific data needs.

This session will walk you through:

• Identifying available research data storage options for active, backup, and long-term storage
• Best practices in research data management-related to funder compliance requirements, as well as ethical, legal and commercial obligations
• Queen’s-based resources to support research data storage needs

The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio is hosting three Horizon Europe Information and Networking sessions. Please join Nancy Ross (Vice-Principal Research) and Karen Samis (Director, Grants and Research Operations) on one of the following dates:

• Friday, February 28
• Friday, March 14
• Friday, March 21

The information sessions will include brief overviews of Horizon Europe and Pillar II, as well as background information on Canada’s eligibility under Pillar II. Participants will have the opportunity to network with colleagues following the presentation and a catered lunch will be served.

Participants are encouraged to review the most recent draft versions of the  2025 Horizon Europe Pillar II work programs in advance of the sessions and familiarize themselves with the proposed calls for each cluster.

While these events are open to everyone, they are targeted to faculty members with an established program of tri-agency funded research and an existing international network. Seating is limited.

Please complete the registration form if you plan to attend.

Registration for this session is now closed.

If you have any questions, please contact Bronwyn Jaques:  b.jaques@queensu.ca

The Vice-Principal Research portfolio will host researchers applying to the NSERC Collaborative Research & Training Experience (CREATE) program for a panel discussion and Q&A. The hybrid session will be led by Queen's awardees and cover the basics of the 2026 competition and internal selection processes. Panelists will also share insights on what is needed for a successful application and their experiences running a CREATE program.

In-person attendance is recommended. Please go to Richardson Hall's main entrance (74 University Avenue). Registrants will receive a calendar invite and Microsoft Teams link for virtual attendance.

If you have any questions, please contact Merline Fonkwe: merline.fonkwe@queensu.ca
