Data Infrastructure Challenges: working across scale, disciplinary and institutional boundaries,
5th May 2011, University of Leicester

Registration: This workshop is co-located with the 6th Research Data Management Forum: Planning for research data management . Registration for both events is now closed.

Overview: The Infrastructure for Integration in Structural Sciences (I2S2) Project is pleased to announce a half-day Workshop which will explore research data management challenges in a range of contexts. It will examine data integration and interoperability across different degrees of scale (from local laboratory to national data service to large scale facility such as Diamond and ISIS), data flows between disciplines and data exchange across and within institutional boundaries. There will be a particular focus on demonstrating the cost-benefits of effective data management and the relevance of different roles within organisations. There will be a programme of expert speakers who will share the experiences and outcomes from a range of pioneering JISC-funded projects, followed by Panel discussion

Audience: The workshop will be of relevance to a variety of stakeholders interested in ways to improve research data management over differing scales of science and across organisational boundaries; this includes individual research scientists and large-scale facilities managers, as well as computing services and funding agencies.
