Please join us on Tuesday 3rd December (3–5 pm) for a social event to celebrate the end of the Data Champion year! This is an informal occasion to mark the end of 2019. There is no specific theme for the event; instead, we will explore a range of open topics via short talks and questions amidst general networking. Topics for talks and questions may be related, in the broadest sense, to Research Data Management and Open Research but do not need to cover these areas exclusively (lateral thoughts are welcomed!). In addition, Data Champions are encouraged to contribute their thoughts on the future structure of the programme and the content of forums in 2020 - all ideas will be gratefully received. Event location: Todd Hamied Room, Department of Chemistry, Lensfield Road, CB2 1EW (https://map.cam.ac.uk/Department+of+Chemistry#52.198063,0.125855,17) |
