Re: [dddwg] Bergen workshop programme [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Dear Brian,

 

You may have seen this already, and your working group is probably not at this policy level, but the following email and the attached landed in my email inbox today and maybe somewhat relevant:

 

The Royal Society, UK, has just released a report on open access to data for science. The report has some key themes -  mandating open access to publicly funded data collections to overcome researcher’s desires to protect their own publishing interests, and the use of safe havens that limit data access to researchers with a legitimate interest in the data but who are subject to penalties if they breach confidentiality. 

In 2010, a group of international funding bodies (led by the Wellcome Trust and including the National Health and Medical Research Council) signed up to a ‘joint statement of purpose’ for sharing research data to improve public health. 

 

Attached is the summary of the report (~10p) and the joint statement (3p).

 

 

Cheers,

Richard

Dear Colleagues

 

I attach the programme for the DDD workshop at Bergen on August 6th.

We are hoping to provide a programme booklet for attendees, and I would be grateful if any of the speakers still to submit an abstract would kindly send it to me by 1st July for incorporation in the booklet.

 

We look forward to seeing you there!

 

Best wishes

Brian and John
