[IP-OA_Forum] Beilstein Open Science Symposium 2018: Making Science FAIR

["Martin G. Hicks" <mhicks@beilstein-institut.de>]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to inform you about our forthcoming symposium:

 

Beilstein Open Science Symposium 2018

Making Science FAIR

 

8 – 10 October, 2018

Hotel Jagdschloss Niederwald

Rüdesheim, Germany

 

 

A new science eco-system is in the making: Open Science. It will impact the way research is carried out and reported, in particular focussing on improving the way research data is stored and shared. Open Science aims to make research and development more effective by improving the communication of scientific knowledge through free access to research results, by encouraging researchers to share their data, and ensuring that data are complete, comprehensive and transparent.

 

The lack of a framework for structured and standardized data reporting and the largely outdated infrastructure for reporting and publishing scientific research results means that the ability to validate, verify and reuse data is insufficient to allow data-driven research and development. A good way forward is to adopt the FAIR principles that aim to make aim to make data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. However, achieving these goals requires not only investment in hardware and personnel (data scientists) but also cultural changes for researchers to be more open to sharing results – perhaps prior to publishing as a journal article.

 

The symposium will bring together research scientists, data scientists, publishers, funders and other interested parties to review critically their needs and concerns and discuss how they see the future of Open Science developing.

 

Speakers include: Jean-Claude Burgelman (European Commission), Sarven Capadisli (Bonn), David Carr (Wellcome), Ian Caswell (UCL), Simon Coles (Southampton), Lee Cronin (Glasgow), Kim Daasbjerg (Aarhus), Timothy Errington (COS), Lambert Heller (TIB), Nicole Jung (KIT), Stefan Knapp (Frankfurt), Johanna Kowol-Santen (DFG), Nelson Torto (AAS), Leonie Mueck (PLOS), Mark Patterson (eLife), Doda Rudnicki (NIH), Dorte Solle (Hannover), Matthew Todd (UCL), Olivier Verscheure (Lausanne), Antony Williams (EPA)

Looking forward to seeing you there!
