What to expect?

Data Conversations will feature two short talks from researchers. Each talk will be about 10 minutes long. There will be a joint Q&A after the talks.

Don't miss the free lunch at the beginning of the event! Those who are willing to stay longer than an hour are welcome to continue discussion and networking after the presentations. 

The VU Open Science Challenge, a cooperation between the Open Science Program and an international training program, Open Seeds, was successfully launched this summer. This collaboration aims to support courageous individuals and teams willing to take up the challenge to make their research at VU University Amsterdam more open. They receive a monetary award from VU Amsterdam and 16 weeks-long training from the Open Seeds program, starting the end of September. Read more about the collaboration between VU Amsterdamand the Open Seeds training programme in this blog post.

Full information about Open Seeds 8 cohort is provided on OLS website. During this Data Conversations, we will hear from two VU Amsterdam projects.

Who should attend?

Data Conversations brings together researchers, research support staff and data management and data science experts from all subject areas. Early career researchers, as well as experienced academics, are welcome to attend.

About Data Conversations

Data Conversations started at the University of Lancaster in the UK. The Lancaster Data Conversations aim to bring data practitioners together to talk about how researchers create, collect, use and share data. The Data Conversations at the VU Amsterdam share the same aim and are intended to provide a forum for researchers from different subjects and disciplines to exchange practices and ideas around open data, FAIR data, research data management and related open science topics.

Call for Talks

You can attend and benefit from your colleagues' experiences or come and present your own experiences. We welcome short talks on topics related to Open Science and Reproducible Research from early career researchers as well as from more experienced academics and research support staff. This is an informal and inclusive event, so whether you are a seasoned presenter or a first-timer, your contribution will be welcome.
