[open-science] Reminder- CfP for "Building up Open Access, Open Education and Open Data for Open Science" - short abstracts by 30 May 2014

Thu May 29 15:08:04 UTC 2014

Hello, 

As several of you know, I have been working for the past year and a half on an open textbook model which I believe to be a great hybrid of technology and teaching theory in an affordable, paper-based, notebook/textbook hybrid. Unfortunately, my chief editor and former advisor has undergone some legal trouble that has caused progress to halt. I would still like to finish this project, and have put together a slideshow on figshare detailing some of the highlights of this new, collaborative model.

I would like to humbly submit the slideshow as an abstract for this forthcoming conference.

All of my best,

Andrew Varnell.

The purpose of the Research Data Alliance  https://rd-alliance.org   is to accelerate international data-driven innovation and discovery by facilitating research data sharing and exchange, use and re-use, standards harmonization, and discoverability. This will be achieved through the development and adoption of infrastructure, policy, practice, standards, and other deliverables. This session is aimed to welcome and provide opportunity for those who are new to RDA to understand how RDA works and be part of the movement to accelerate international data-driven innovation and discovery by facilitating research data sharing and exchange, use and re-use, standards harmonisation, and discoverability.
