[ckan-dev] SciDataCon 2018: Data and knowledge-sharing ecosystems for research centres (151)

[Wiebke Toussaint]

Hey!


Over the past two years I have embarked on a journey to build an Energy Research Data Portal for South Africa<http://energydata.uct.ac.za/> using CKAN. In the process I have discovered many interesting insights and learned a fair deal about building and invigorating a data and knowledge-sharing ecosystem at UCT's Energy Research Centre.


Now that the project is coming to a conclusion, I want to exchange knowledge with those that have walked a similar journey or are interested in capacitating a knowledge-sharing ecosystem in a medium-sized** research centre. I  have thus submitted as session for SciDataCon-IDW 2018 and am excited that it got accepted (session details attached).


I am now looking for session collaborators that can contribute their insights to the conversation. If you know someone with experience in this area please encourage them to submit a paper<https://www.scidatacon.org/abstract/IDW2018/new/> and share their insights. It'd be fantastic to put forward several approaches of how medium-sized research centres are managing and maintaining their data and knowledge resources.


**A medium-sized research centre is one that is large enough that knowledge sharing and data archiving are considered a pain point, while typically being too small to hire a full-time, permanent data librarian or data manager to tend to the ongoing data needs of the organisation.


Feel free to connect and all the best,
