Trainer: David Ball, David Ball Consulting

Cost: Members £200 +VAT Non-Members £245 + VAT
The concept of Open Access to research outputs, such as journal articles, has been common currency for many years. There have also been developments in the field of Open Data, making research inputs available too. More recent thinking, for instance by the European Commission and the OECD, has expanded the concept of openness even further, to Open Science (OS), which aims to transform science by making research more open, global, collaborative, creative and closer to society. This shift is potentially extremely important for the development and exploitation of research, and hence for the professionals who support it.
This one-day workshop gives an overview of developments in openness in Open Science, Open Data, Open Access and Open Monographs, framed within the context of a disruptive technology. Delegates will be encouraged to raise questions and debate issues of immediate concern throughout the day.
Who should attend?
Research, information and library professionals keen to understand the impact of Open Science, Open Data and Open Access on their work, their institutions and the current and future services they provide for their users.
