Good data management means that the research data and metadata related to the data have been created, stored and organised in a way that keeps the dataset accessible and reliable throughout its life span. Archiving and facilitating reuse of research data play a central part in the lifecycle of data.
The award was first issued in 2014 to honour FSD’s 15 years in operation. FSD personnel decide the recipient of the award. The award is not issued at regular intervals, but it is usually issued on September 17, the name day of Aila.
