Digital Preservation: The Planets Way

19 April, 2010 - 10:00
While we can produce and share information in digital form at an increasing rate and store data in an ever smaller space, the span of time over which we can confidently keep hold of it is diminishing. To retain information to comply with regulatory/governance reasons, for business continuity, or for other valuable purposes, we must take action to ensure that this information will still be available in the future. The final in the series of Planets three-day training events will take place in Rome.

Institutional Policy and Guidance for Research Data Workshop

29 March, 2010 - 09:00
This is the second workshop organized as part of the dissemination activities of the JISC-funded Embedding Institutional Data Curation Services in Research (EIDCSR) Project. The workshop aims to discuss issues around the development and implementation of institutional policy and guidance for research data. Whilst the EIDCSR Project is addressing the requirements of researchers working within medical and life sciences, the event is likely to be of interest to those working in, or supporting, other disciplinary areas.

Digital Scholarship: Advanced technologies for research

10 March, 2010 - 10:00
This JISC-sponsored roadshow for researchers and those who support them, will introduce the concept of e-research and some of the distributed resources now available for research. A discussion session will address how e-research fits into broader debates and practices in digital scholarship. We will hear about some of the national services available for e-research and also about related work within the Open University, including the DISCO (DIgital SChOlarship) website, a portal for OU staff interested in learning about digital scholarship.
