Data Horror Week: share your data horrors!
It is a part of the academic culture to celebrate success and to hide things that went wrong. We - RDM Support in the Library - think it’s important to also address the uncomfortable and see what we can learn from it in order to be successful. This is why we are planning Data Horror Week 26 - 30 October.

During Data Horror Week, we would like to share stories that highlight how data management went wrong and the lessons that could be learned from these situations. Would you like to share a story with the wider community of the VU? We would love to hear from you!
