Thu May 29 11:09:48 UTC 2014

Dear colleagues,

We are inviting your strong participation for “Building up Open Access, Open Education and Open Data for Open Science” on 2nd September 2014 at Nottingham in parallel to OSGIS 2014 .

The aim of this  one day event  is to bring together  participants from various disciplines to enable an in-depth  dialogue focused on  Open Access , Open Data and Open Education for building synergies and collaboration opportunities  for Open Science and also with the "Geo for All" http://www.geoforall.org   initiative.

There will also be an "RDA for Newcomers session" organised at this workshop and will be led by Herman Stehouwer. 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.

Contributions are invited but are not limited to the following topic areas:

·         Open access developments

·         Policy developments in Open Data

·         Global aspects of Open Education

·         Open educational resources, open courseware and open online courses

·         Application use cases : Government,  Health, Energy, Water, Climate change etc for Open Science

·         Open architectures

·         Open content

·         Open science

·         Internationalisation and localisation

·         Open Source examples in widening Education

·         Implementation and deployment case studies in Open data

·         Issues on data exchange, data harmonisation

Short abstracts (max 1500 words) are be submitted to  Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk<mailto:Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk>  by 30 May 2014.
