While specialisation is the standard outside of academics, researchers are expected to be experts on many different field in addition to their discipline. On top of your conducting your data gathering and analysis, modern research requires code wrangling, database browsing, publication acrobatics, citizen science herding and coffee corner networking. All worthwhile to research, but impossible to do without 25-hour workdays and steady infuse of caffeine. Luckily, you don’t have to do it all by yourself.
This Love Data Week we’re looking at how to create the perfect open science team with the launch of the newest GHOST game: Open Science Alliance. After two exciting talks on the benefits of different kinds of expertise within research teams, there will be an interactive session where participants will engage with Open Science Alliance. Breeze through challenges with your team or watch your opponents take all the open science credits.
Let’s have a lunch full of thought-provoking discussions and new insights on Open Science during the Love Data Lunch.
Lunch is included in the event.
This event is part of the international Love Data Week; you can find the list of events happening around the world here.
