Approach evaluated in 3 domains that generate experimental data.
Data curator becomes familiar with the domain.

Conclusions
•
Lack of RDM awareness is both a challenge (communication) and an opportunity
(enhance skills and foster motivation);
•
Overall, researchers create quality metadata if tools are available;
•
Communication improved overtime. Simple and realistic activities, complemented with
practical examples;
•
DMP development is a good way to strengthen collaboration between training curators
and researchers.
