Events

The University of Maribor Library is organising a new edition of the summer school course, the University of Maribor Open Science Summer School, between 11th and 15th September 2023.

Connecting Communities 
12-14 September 2023 
Karlsruhe 

Research data form the basis for knowledge and innovation throughout all scientific disciplines. They play a fundamental role in the progress of our society. The key to using these data treasures is an effective infrastructure. With the first edition of the Conference on Research Data Infrastructure from 12 to 14 September 2023, the Association German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) is initiating a conference that will focus on establishing interdisciplinary research data management (RDM). Under the theme Connecting Communities, national and international stakeholders from all research fields as well as from the infrastructure sector are invited to present their contributions to an excellent RDM of the future and to exchange information about the latest developments. NFDI is organizing the conference in cooperation with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). NFDI contributors as well as all other RDM interested stakeholders will have the opportunity to meet at the KIT South Campus.

More information and event programme

Over the course of three days, topics related to RDM and the joint development of an effective research data infrastructure for Germany and beyond will be examined from a wide variety of perspectives. Scientific presentations, a panel discussion, exciting keynotes, a poster session and networking activities are planned. The Conference on Research Data Infrastructure stands for more comprehensive knowledge through better use of research data, for innovations and the resulting social benefits.

More than 800 participants are expected at CORDI from NFDI, EOSC and other initiatives. EOSC-A President Karel Luyben will be one of the featured speakers at the event.

Digital transformation spans many concepts such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, Internet of things, and big data, and is inducing fundamental changes in all parts of society including universities.
Universities of technology have particular tasks and should take leading roles in shaping these general developments. At the same time, they need to decide how to use the opportunities offered by digitalisation in the most appropriate ways for their activities in education and continuing education, research and innovation, and outreach as well as for many aspects of institutional management always choosing the right balance between digital and traditional analogue approaches. Universities need comprehensive digitalisation strategies and plans considering also up-to-date digital infrastructures and environments and the respective investments.
At crp2023, keynote speakers will discuss the conference topic from different perspectives and leaders of European Universities of Technology will present their institutions’ digitalisation strategies and measures.
The social programme for participants and accompanying persons will offer informal opportunities.

Discussions at the 2023 Conference will address issues such as:
The conference topic will give an opportunity to discuss different aspects of universities’ perspectives, plans and strategies, regarding the challenges and opportunities of digitalization, such as:

• The technological, social and human dimensions of the digital transformation
• Universities’ tasks shaping human-centred digitalization
• Change management aspect of digital transformation
• Sustainable strategies for implementing digital transformation
• Digitalization in research, education and life-long learning
• Digital boost for university-industry cooperation, and many more aspects
• Digitalization of institutional management

Open Science Fair 2023 aims to bring together and empower open science communities and services; to identify common practices related to open science; to see what are the best synergies to deliver and operate services that work for many; and to bring experiences from all around the world and learn from each other. 

OSFair2023 is organized as an emblematic initiative of OpenAIRE. This year the event will be co-organized with FECYT, from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, key European projects and global initiatives.

Open science (also referred to as open scholarship) is at a crossroads. Implementation and adoption are progressing, with researchers, research institutions, funding agencies, service providers and infrastructures all engaging at various levels. However, different models are emerging which produce a seemingly fragmented ecosystem and achieve small steps on top of traditional scholarly communication system. In order to enable international and interdisciplinary research, we need to ensure interoperability across communities and services while still maintaining our ability to support diversity of workflows and knowledge systems.
