We would like to invite you to the workshop. During this meeting, we will bring together Res earch Data Management experts and heritage specialists to explore whi ch data can be considered heritage, which technical aspects are impor tant for their archiving, and how this can be organized institutional ly.

As an example and source of inspiration, we will look at t he “non-archived” research data of the Apollo moon missions from 1961 to 19 72, which were only recently restored for research purposes but a lso mark an important moment in the history of the Western world.

Background
As the ten-year retention period fo r many research datasets is coming to an end, various institutions, i ncluding the VU, are working on a reappraisal framework to determine which datasets should be preserved for research purposes. According t o the advisory report 'Dich t het zwarte gat' (Stichting Academisch Erfgoed, 2023), some research data can be regarded as vulnerable digital heritage. In thi s workshop, we will explore this further.

We sincerely hope tha t you will be able to attend this meeting and that you will be willin g to share your valuable expertise.
