The University of Manchester has established a Research Data Management service and policy to support researchers in managing their research data. The RDM service was launched in 2011 and is a collaboration between the University Library and IT Services. It aims to provide guidance, tools, and infrastructure to help researchers comply with funder data sharing requirements and best practices for data management, storage, and preservation. Key challenges for the future include developing metadata standards, tools for data sharing and publishing, coordinating expertise across departments, and adapting to a changing research environment and funder landscape.
