Participation in this event is restricted to grantees of the Investigation Support Scheme (second cohort) and Publication Support Scheme in 2020/21.

Time: 14:30-16:00 CET

Investigations generate masses of material, and keeping it straight, accessible and structured is the single most crucial task for any investigation. The goal is to acquire mastery of the material as well as to order it in a way that makes composing the final story simpler and more efficient. There are multiple ways to reach this goal. In this session, we will focus on one field-tested solution, which we call the “Masterfile”, as well as archiving.
