In response to a number of requests from colleagues who have already started their holidays and with the agreement of other members of the organising committee, the deadline for abstract submissions to the Göttingen-CODATA Symposium 2018 on ‘the critical role of university research data management infrastructure in transforming data to knowledge’ has been extended to 15 January 2018</b>.</div><div class="" style="font-family: GillSans;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: GillSans;">We are grateful to those who have already sent in proposals and hope that this extension will allow others to put in an abstract in the New Year. </div><div class="" style="font-family: GillSans;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: GillSans;">The event will be a timely and major appraisal of progress in institutional endeavours to address the challenge of improving research data management for the benefit of science. The symposium will feature invited speakers of international renown as well as papers from institutions from around the world. The symposium themes are designed to ensure that the event will allow the community to appraise progress and share knowledge in key areas of institutional RDM activity: <a href="http://conference.codata.org/conference/2018_Goettingen_RDM/symposium-themes/" target="_blank" class="">http://conference.<wbr class="">codata.org/conference/2018_<wbr class="">Goettingen_RDM/symposium-<wbr class="">themes/</a></div><div class="" style="font-family: GillSans;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: GillSans;">Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit them to a special collection of the Data Science Journal <a href="https://datascience.codata.org/collections/special/" target="_blank" class="">https://datascience.<wbr class="">codata.org/collections/<wbr class="">special/</a></div><div class="" style="font-family: GillSans;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: GillSans;"><p dir="ltr" class="" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span class="" style="font-weight: 700; white-space: pre-wrap;">Topic of the Symposium: ‘The critical role of university RDM infrastructure in transforming data to knowledge’</span><br class=""></p><p dir="ltr" class="" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span class="" style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">All over the world universities and libraries have started the task of developing research data services. Ideally such initiatives aim to result in a complete service portfolio covering the entire research lifecycle: support in writing proposals and data management plans, repository infrastructures for the storage of data, support in publishing data, assignment of persistent identifiers, lecturing in data management, etc. This broad scope means that such services are often seen as requiring a joint effort from from university, library, IT centre, faculties and other stakeholders.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span class="" style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nowhere in the world has such a complete support scenario been perfected.
