In November 2024, staff from 20 UK energy research centres met for the Cross-consortium Engagement Meeting (CCEM). It enables UK's energy research consortia and funding councils to strengthen connections, collaborate on projects and discuss topics of interest. This meeting focussed on managing research data: why it matters, the challenges, and what is being done to make data more accessible, usable and available for the long-term. This demonstrates the commitment to share and improve practice in this area. In this blog, we explore the outcomes and how centres like the Energy Demand Research Centre (EDRC) and the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC), who co-lead the CCEM, can improve their data management for their own researchers and beyond.
