GARNet/Egenis workshop ‘Making Data Accessible to All’
Dates: 12-13 July 2012
Deadline for registration: 15 June and places are limited (register now to avoid disappointment)
Location: Innovation Centre, University of Exeter
Organisers: Sabina Leonelli (Egenis), Ruth Bastow (GARNet), Berris Charnley (Egenis)
Plant scientists are often required to donate data to open access databases (for instance, by the BBSRC data management policy). They are also encouraged to make use of these databases in order to boost their research and speed up discovery. It is not yet clear, however, whether and how these practices are affecting experimentation within the plant sciences, and whether data donation and use on a large scale has been effective in fostering innovative research. The focus of this workshop is to discuss issues surrounding data donation, data use and publication from the viewpoint of plant biologists; and it offers a unique opportunity to engage with key publishers and funders around this issues.
