Start with making researchers realise that RDM is both professionally relevant and important, use carrots, not sticks
Success and impact criteria evolving

Recurring themes: Tailor to researchers’ needs Bottom-up approach Appreciate varied way data is perceived Providing training in a timely fashion Adapt language of RDM to respective discipline Understand and know relevant research environments
Hands-on approaches/real-life case studies Exercises, exercises, practical and relevant exercises
