Digital Preservation Advanced Practitioner Training
Gilbert Scott Conference Suite, University of Glasgow
15th – 19th July 2013
A training event organised by APARSEN, presented in collaboration with TIMBUS, SCAPE, EUDAT and the IMPACT Centre, and sponsored by the European Commission.
We are delighted to announce that registration is now open for this exciting new digital preservation training opportunity to be held in Glasgow from the 15th to 19th July 2013.
This week-long event, hosted by the Digital Preservation Coalition at the University of Glasgow will bring together representatives from projects and organisations at the leading edge of digital preservation research, providing attendees with training at an advanced level. The training will aim to cover issues across the complete digital preservation life-cycle by addressing topics within four main themes: Governance and Management, Digital Object/Data Creation, Preservation Planning, and Infrastructure.
The course is a distinctive addition to digital preservation training activities in Europe and is the first iteration of what is to become a yearly training event, bringing together those at the forefront of digital preservation research and training. It is intended for managers and staff already working in digital preservation. It assumes a working knowledge of existing standards like the Open Archival Information System - OAIS - as well as an understanding of how issues of preservation apply to their own institution. An optional half-day digital preservation ‘boot-camp’ will be held prior to the commencement of the main course for those wishing a refresher on key concepts.
All the places at this training event are subsidised. As this is the first iteration of the training course this will be a generous subsidy that will also include accommodation for Sunday 14th – Friday 19th July (up to 5 nights) if required. The subsidised cost for the training course, including optional boot-camp, event dinner and accommodation, is £150.
Numbers are strictly limited. This event is likely to be popular and early registration is highly recommended. It is a condition of registration that you attend. Participants who fail to attend will be invoiced a ‘no-show-fee’ equivalent to the full cost of their place on the course – 750GBP.
Registration is now open via the DPC website:
