- Solutions for improving discovery, access and use

The 3rd DataCite Summer Meeting - open for all

Date & time: June 14th, 9:00-17:30, 2012

Location: Technical University of Denmark (busses from the Black Diamond)

15:30 - 16:00 Presentation of DataCite and its annual meeting
16:30 - 17:30 Drinks reception for everyone

The three key aims of DataCite are to improve the discovery of, access to and use of research data. This year’s Summer Meeting will demonstrate practical ways in which DataCite, its members, users and data centres are enabling this. The DataCite Summer Meetings bring together people from research organisations, data centers, government, and information service providers to discuss the latest developments in data science, data citation, data discovery, and data reuse. A unique opportunity to learn, to exchange experience and to influence the next generation of data citation services.

Registration costs DKK 600 / EUR 80, which covers the full-day meeting, lunch, coffees and transport between the Black Diamond downtown and the conference hall at the Technical University of Denmark.

The three key aims of DataCite are to improve the discovery of, access to and use of research data. The theme for the European Summer meeting will focus on demonstrating practical ways that DataCite, its members and data centres are enabling these aims to be implemented.

Speaker biographies

Dr Jonathan Grant

Dr Jonathan Grant has led a team of researchers investigating the ‘science of science’ at RAND Europe, working for a number of UK and international funding and research bodies to help them assess the quality and ‘payback’ of funded research. These approaches can provide evidence-based information about the best ways to fund research and assess its outcomes and impact.
