Registration is now open for the Jisc Sponsored DPC Briefing Day 'Counting on Reproducibility: Tangible Efforts and Intangible Assets' in Birmingham on 29 May 2019.

 

It has long been recognized that ‘resources’ are as important to digital preservation as ‘technology’ or ‘policy’: but whereas technical requirements and standards abound there is much less attention to modelling the financial requirements.  This question of resources is in two parts: the up-front costs of building and sustaining a digital preservation service, and the economic benefits that accrue from preservation.  Both are complex. 

 

This workshop will introduce and examine the state of the art in financial planning for digital archives. 

 

This workshop is part of a series of events in 2019, run by The Digital Preservation Coalition on behalf of the Jisc Open Research Hub (formerly known as the Research Data Shared Service, RDSS). Currently, this offers a pilot service to enable researchers to deposit data for publication, discovery, safe storage, long term archiving and preservation. As part of the pilot, Jisc have engaged the DPC to facilitate opportunities for community validation, wider dissemination, and horizon scanning with respect to the relationship between institutional research data management and digital preservation. These workshops will consult, present, and shape the digital preservation capabilities of the Open Research Hub.

 

This workshop will interest:

• Archivists, librarians, and curators who want to understand more about the value of their data
• Digital preservation specialists and repository managers who want to gain realistic and sustained funding for their digital archive
• IT professionals who support the digital preservation infrastructure and want to know how to plan for the inevitable growth of data
• Funders who want to more confidently allocate resources for digital preservation

 

Places are strictly limited and should be booked in advance. Registration will close at 12:00 GMT on 22 May 2019 and early booking is recommended as we expect this event will be popular. Registration is free and open to everyone.
