Scientific Knowledge Services and the library at TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology) are pleased to announce the following event:
2018 Focus On Open Science, Vienna When: November 16th 2018 (9am - 4:15pm, followed by a networking reception) Where: TU Wien, TUtheSky, Getreidemarkt 9, 11th floor, 1060 Vienna, Austria Open Science describes the current transition in how research is undertaken, how the outputs are stored and disseminated, how researchers collaborate, how success is measured and how researchers are rewarded for open approaches. In the Vienna chapter, a focus will be placed on research data management (RDM), 'FAIR data' and open access, and on the (cultural change) processes and infrastructures needed at the institutional and community level in order to support a transition to Open Science. Universities and research communities are experimenting with different aspects of Open Science, building and using new infrastructures or tackling the most purposeful and sustainable ways to put into practice funders' requirements in relation to open-access publications or 'FAIR research data'. Knowing current developments is essential both for researchers and support staff, as is the collaboration of these two groups. The practice-oriented workshop at TU Wien aims to provide a learning experience and platform for future collaboration, bringing together researchers and support staff (library, research support, funders). While relevant to all fields, we aim to make particular references to the spectrum of disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields as usually covered by universities/faculties/departments of science and technology (from engineering to computer science to architecture). We cordially invite you to enter into a discussion about your needs and questions, requirements and concerns, the state of play and next steps in Open Science. Local and international speakers will provide overviews on European and local developments (new infrastructures, funders' policies, RDM in practice, etc.). A poster exhibition (informal and open for everyone to share experiences) and late-afternoon networking reception in our beautiful location will round off the event. Speakers: Dr. Paus Ayris, UCL and lead author of the 2018 League of European Research Universities (LERU) paper 'Open Science and its role in universities' | Prof. Dr. Andreas Rauber, TU Wien and co-chair of Research Data Alliance (RDA) Austria, founded in 2017 | Dr. Shalini Kurapati, RDM expert and data steward at TU Delft (Delft University of Technology)| Welcome by Prof. Dr. Johannes Fröhlich, Vice Rector for Research and Innovation, TU Wien | and many more.
