Hello all
We are planning to hold an Open Research-themed event for our academics and research students in the Spring next year. We would like to invite a couple of academics to give plenary talks, who can inspire our audience through their passion for Open Research
and by talking about the adoption of Open methods in their research practice. They could be talking about any or all of OA of any colour, data, software, use of Open-enabling technologies, involvement in community initiatives, etc. We’d like to invite two
speakers with recognised profiles, one in the sciences, and one in the humanities, who can speak with enthusiasm about the aspects of Open Research that are important to them. We consider it important that our speakers be active researchers, who can speak
to our audience as one of them (rather than one of us!).
All suggestions would be gratefully received. If you prefer to share off-list, please feel free to contact me directly.
While I am here: this will be our first such event and we’re learning as we go along. If you have put on events along similar lines and have experience you would love to share, I should be very happy to hear about it.
Thank you
Robert
