• Open Science Days 2021

  October 19, 2021 I 01:15 pm - 04:45 pm | Virtual Meeting

  October 20, 2021 I 09:30 am - 02:00 pm | Virtual Meeting

  

  The Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) cordially invites you to participate in the Open Science Days 2021. The conference will take place as a virtual zoom meeting and is going to extend over two half days.

  When looking at the different areas of Open Science in the past years, we were often confronted with the question of where and how the growing significance of Open Science does affect the reality of a daily research routine within the various disciplines. Or: how it should be affected? This is the key question we would like to shed light on during the conference. A number of challenges for academic everyday life are reflected by the principles of Good Scientific Practice. Major changes within the complex system of research routine and publication workflows are caused, not least by elements of Open Science turning into reality. This applies in particular to the fields of Open Access, Open Research Data, and Open Research Software, which have been at the center of attention for quite some time now.

  You can find more info on the Open Science Days website.

  You can look up the official program for the Open Science Days here.

  The registration for the conference is open for everybody and is now available.

• Talk Series: Open Science in Practice

  June-October, 2021 | every Wednesday | on Zoom

We invited speakers from diverse fields to present their Open Science-related projects, experiences, or initiatives.
  The 2021 virtual talk series will take place every Wednesday at 1:00 pm from June to October. You can find more info here.

• Research Data Management Workshop

  19. - 20. April 2018 I Max-Planck-Institut für Psychatrie I München

  

  Der Umgang mit digitalen Forschungsdaten wird seit Jahren diskutiert. Dies betrifft alle Arten von Daten sowie ihren kompletten Lebenszyklus:

  Vieles, das früher noch von Hand aufgeschrieben wurde, wird jetzt digital und oft automatisch erfasst (z.B. durch ein elektronisches Laborbuch). Neue Tools und (Cloud-) Services kommen auf den Markt, die die Verarbeitung der Daten unterstützen. Die Anzahl der Datenpublikationen steigt, nicht zuletzt durch die neuen Anforderungen der Forschungsförderer und der Wissenschaftsverlage. Ebenso die Nachfrage nach Archivlösungen, die eine langfristige Speicherung der Daten, ihre Wiederauffindbarkeit und ihre Interpretationsfähigkeit garantieren können, vor allem vor dem Hintergrund des stetigen Organisationswechsels der Wissenschaftler.

  Viele Servicegruppen (IT-Abteilungen, Bibliotheken, Labore, etc.) innerhalb der Institute stehen neuen Anforderungen im Umgang mit digitalem Datenmanagement gegenüber.

  Nachdem es dazu bereits 2016 einen ersten Workshop in Bonn am MPI für Gemeinschaftsgüter gab und einen weiteren auf dem DV Treffen 2016, möchten wir das Thema wieder aufgreifen und alle Betroffenen zu gegenseitigem Austausch und Inspiration im Rahmen eines weiteren Max-Planck-internen Workshops einladen.

• Symposium for Research Coordinators

  28. - 30. April, Kreuth am Tegernsee

  

  Digitale Services im Forschungsprozess
   
  Dr. Wolfram Horstmann – des. Direktor der Niedersächsischen Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen
  Dr. Ralf Tatzel  - Referent der geschäftsführenden Leitung, Max-Planck-Institut für Biochemie
  Bettina Mann – Forschungskoordinatorin, Max-Planck-Institut für ethnologische Forschung

  Astrid Rauchfuss – Partner and Managing Director, The Boston Consulting Group
   

  Die ForschungskoordinatorInnen der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft sorgen seit Jahren für die hervorragenden Arbeitsbedingungen an unseren Instituten. Die hierzu nötige Infrastruktur und Organisation sowie die damit verbundenen Prozesse und Werkzeuge sind im steten Wandel und müssen immer wieder angepasst und erneuert werden.

  Die größte übergreifende Herausforderung ist der digitale Fortschritt und seine fortwährend anwachsenden Möglichkeiten und Chancen: Welche Trends gibt es und was wird auf uns zukommen? Wie kann ich Digitale Services an meinem Institut gezielt einsetzen? Welche Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen bestehen? Welche organisatorischen Konsequenzen gibt es und wie gehe ich damit um? Wie kann ich durch Digitale Services WissenschaftlerInnen mehr Freiraum und Zeit für Neues, neue Wege und Möglichkeiten schaffen?

  Der Augenmerk des Symposiums ist vor allem auf den interdisziplinären Austausch gerichtet: Welche Erfahrungen haben meine Kolleginnen und Kollegen aber auch andere außerhalb der MPG gemacht? Was ist für einen individuell sinnvollen  Einsatz abzuwägen? Welche Implementierungsalternativen (make or buy) gibt es? Welche Herausforderungen und Best-Practice-Vorgehensweisen gibt es in der Rolle als ForschungskoordinatorIn bei der Erkundung, Entscheidung und Implementierung?

  Diese und viele weitere Punkte rund um das Thema „Digitale Services im Forschungsprozess“ können ForschungskoordinatorInnen im Rahmen eines dreitägigen Workshops zwischen dem 28. und 30. April 2014 diskutieren.

  Genießen Sie dabei die wundervolle Atmosphäre und Landschaft auf und um Schloss Ringberg am Tegernsee bei München.

• PubMan Days 2013

  23. bis 24. Oktober 2013, München

  

  Die MPDL möchte Sie herzlich zu den PubMan Days 2013 einladen. Unsere alljährliche Veranstaltung findet dieses Jahr am 23. und 24. Oktober in der Generalverwaltung der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft (MPG) sowie in der MPDL in München statt.

  Die Repository Software PubMan ist eine Anwendung, die es Forschungsorganisationen ermöglicht, Publikationsdaten nachhaltig zu speichern, zu verwalten und mit ergänzenden Materialien anzureichern sowie für andere Webdienste zur Verfügung zu stellen.

  Unser diesjähriges Schwerpunktthema lautet “Publikationen und Forschungsdaten“.

  Einige Publikationsrepositorien – wie auch PubMan – bieten die Möglichkeit Publikationsdaten mit Forschungsdaten anzureichern und diese als sogenanntes „Supplementary Material“ abzulegen. Forschungsaktivitäten, die einer Publikation zugrunde liegen, werden auf diesem Weg für die Öffentlichkeit greifbarer, nachvollziehbarer und nachnutzbarer. Solche „Enhanced Publications“ bringen folglich einige Vorteile mit sich. Aber sicherlich gibt es an der einen oder anderen Stelle auch Bedenken, Fragen oder Diskussionsbedarf. Mit einem bunten Mix an interessanten Beiträgen möchten wir uns im Rahmen der PubMan Days dieser Thematik widmen und mit Ihnen gemeinsam verschiedenste Beispielszenarien und Gedankenexperimente veranschaulichen.
