  FDM-Workshop 2019

  23. - 24. September 2019 I Harnack Haus I Berlin

  

  Nachdem die ersten beiden Workshops zum Thema Forschungsdatenmanagement in der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft (MPG) auf großes Interesse in einer breiten Community stießen, möchte die Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) die Veranstaltungsserie in 2019 gern fortsetzen. Ein weiterer MPG-interner FDM-Workshop findet in diesem Jahr am 23. und 24. September im Berliner Harnack-Haus statt.

  Das Feedback vom letzten Workshop berücksichtigend, möchten wir unserem Treffen dieses Mal einen noch stärkeren Workshop-Charakter verleihen. Wir haben deshalb eine Auswahl an konkreten Themen identifiziert, denen wir uns beim diesjährigen Event detaillierter widmen möchten.

  Wir freuen uns, dass uns die Max Planck Computing and Data Facility (MPCDF) bei der Organisation des FDM-Workshops 2019 unterstützt. So können wir das Thema Forschungsdatenmanagement noch breiter behandeln.

  Research Data Management Workshop

  19. - 20. April 2018 I Max-Planck-Institut für Psychatrie I München

  

  Der Umgang mit digitalen Forschungsdaten wird seit Jahren diskutiert. Dies betrifft alle Arten von Daten sowie ihren kompletten Lebenszyklus:

  Vieles, das früher noch von Hand aufgeschrieben wurde, wird jetzt digital und oft automatisch erfasst (z.B. durch ein elektronisches Laborbuch). Neue Tools und (Cloud-) Services kommen auf den Markt, die die Verarbeitung der Daten unterstützen. Die Anzahl der Datenpublikationen steigt, nicht zuletzt durch die neuen Anforderungen der Forschungsförderer und der Wissenschaftsverlage. Ebenso die Nachfrage nach Archivlösungen, die eine langfristige Speicherung der Daten, ihre Wiederauffindbarkeit und ihre Interpretationsfähigkeit garantieren können, vor allem vor dem Hintergrund des stetigen Organisationswechsels der Wissenschaftler.

  Viele Servicegruppen (IT-Abteilungen, Bibliotheken, Labore, etc.) innerhalb der Institute stehen neuen Anforderungen im Umgang mit digitalem Datenmanagement gegenüber.

  Nachdem es dazu bereits 2016 einen ersten Workshop in Bonn am MPI für Gemeinschaftsgüter gab und einen weiteren auf dem DV Treffen 2016, möchten wir das Thema wieder aufgreifen und alle Betroffenen zu gegenseitigem Austausch und Inspiration im Rahmen eines weiteren Max-Planck-internen Workshops einladen.

  Weitere Informationen sowie die Anmeldung finden Sie auf unserer Homepage.

  ESAC Offsetting Workshop

  March 7-8, 2016 | Munich, Max Planck Digital Library

  

  Directly affecting the existing corpus of scientific journals, offsetting agreements seem to be a promising approach when it comes to achieving a substantial switch to open access. Within the scope of the ESAC initiative, MPDL hosts a two-day workshop on offsetting in cooperation with the Austrian Academic Consortium and Open Access Network Austria. The aim is to exchange experiences with the different mechanisms that are currently in place, while focusing especially on both publisher’s business processes and institutional workflows.
