# Latvian Data Curators Network

This Latvian Data Curator Network presentation focused on the critical role of data sharing and management in improving research visibility and career advancement.

The session highlighted the importance of organizing data through standardized folder structures, implementing version control, and maintaining thorough documentation.

Key themes included adopting FAIR data principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and practical techniques for ensuring that data can be shared and reused within the scientific community.

The presentation also emphasized data curation's impact on improving research outcomes and visibility.
