Registration
Prompted in part by the new National Science Foundation requirement for data management plans in grant proposals, this symposium will kick off a campus conversation focused on identifying a campus-level strategy for infrastructure and services to support long-term research data access and preservation. This symposium is the first of a series of events scheduled for the 2011-2012 academic year. The series will focus on understanding research data management needs within and across the subject domains and identifying a campus-level strategy for supporting long-term research data management at Illinois.
Keynote speaker Chris Lintott is a researcher at the University of Oxford, Junior Research Fellow at New College, Citizen Science Project Lead at Adler Planetarium in Chicago, and leads the team responsible for the Zooniverse collection of citizen science projects.
