JISC and UKOLN are organising a free conference to showcase the work of the second round of JISC-funded Research Information Management (RIM) projects. The conference is free and will be held at the Manchester Conference Centre on 20 September 2011.
The conference will highlight the work of the following Strand 2 final projects:
- Brunel Research Under a CERIF Environment (BRUCE) – Brunel University
- CERIFy – UKOLN, University of Bath
- Measuring Impact under CERIF (MICE) – Centre for e-Reseach (CeRch), Kings College London
- Integrated Research Input and Output System (IRIOS) – University of Sunderland
The day will begin with an overview of Strand 2 and its aims and objectives. This will be followed by a sneak preview of the projects’ findings, where each of the projects will make a short presentation to the audience to encourage delegates come to its particular session. After the break four parallel sessions will be held for each of the projects; these sessions will be repeated again in the afternoon. Delegates will therefore have an opportunity to visit at least two project sessions. After the afternoon project sessions, there will be a number of presentations from projects that are building on the Research Information Management strand (e.g. from RMAS, the Research Council, etc). The day will end with a plenary discussion focusing on the way forward.
Further information, a draft programme and a booking form are available from the UKOLN Events Web pages.
