Data Infrastructure Challenges, I2S2 Project Workshop, 5th May 2011, Leicester

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

The Infrastructure for Integration in Structural Sciences (I2S2) Project is pleased to announce a half-day workshop exploring research data management challenges in a range of contexts. This workshop, entitled Data Infrastructure Challenges: Working across Scale, Disciplinary and Institutional Boundaries, will take place on 5 May 2011 at the University of Leicester.

The half-day workshop will examine data integration and interoperability across different degrees of scale (from local laboratory to national data service to large-scale facility such as Diamond and ISIS), data flows between disciplines, and data exchange across and within institutional boundaries. There will be a particular focus on demonstrating the cost-benefits of effective data management and the relevance of different roles within organisations. A programme of expert speakers will share the experiences and outcomes from a range of pioneering JISC-funded projects, followed by panel discussion.

Full programme and registration details can be found on the I2S2 events page.

This workshop is to be co-located with the 6th Research Data Management Forum.
