From Knowledge to Practice: Dual Challenge in Research Data Management Completed

To strengthen awareness of Research Data Management (RDM) and equip PolyU researchers with practical, real-world skills, the Library organised the Dual Challenge in Research Data Management from February to March 2026.  The programme not only introduced key RDM concepts, but also encourage participants to apply them through guided tasks.

Throughout the Challenge, participants were required to complete the online course “Fundamentals of Research Data Management” and create a Data Management Plan (DMP) using the PolyU DMP Platform on DMP Tool.

Congratulations to Dr Tejeswar Yarlagadda (BEEE) and PhD student Bharati Das (SD) for their outstanding participation and excellent submissions.  They were each awarded a Certificate of Achievement, along with a HK$200 book coupon.
