Now is a great time to join Research Data Scotland. As a relatively new charity set up by the Scottish public sector and leading universities, we are striving to help researchers find and make use of data that can improve the lives of the people of Scotland.
Working in partnership, we aim to widen the range of data available, create new data assets and provide a point of contact for safe, secure and effective access to public sector data.
