This is a very special edition of the Data Conversations where we talk about practicalities of working with various tools. We start with Research Drive

Come to meet likeminded people at VU Amsterdam, share your stories and hear others. Find the registration button at the bottom of this page.

Location: TBD

Agenda

12:00 - 12:05 Grab your lunch and get comfortable

12:05 - 12:20 dr. Mike Ligthart

Collaboratively using Research Drive during Large-Scale In-the-Wild User Studies.

12:20 - 12:35 Mathijs Hofmijster

Sharing potentially sensitive data with fellow researchers, students and other stakeholders; experiences with ResearchDrive 

12:35 - 12:50 Marketa Ciharova

My Experience with Research Drive

I will focus on the projects I used Research Drive for, how I used it, what went well, and what bottlenecks I ran into.

12:50 - 13:10 Nick Schutgens

Nick’s adventures in Research Drive land

After explaining my use case for research drive, I will briefly describe the technical challenges and solutions encountered trying to mount research drive on two different systems. Mounting research drive with rclone allows me to treat it as a large external drive that can easily be shared with others.

13:00 - 13:30 Further discussion, sharing ideas and experiences 

What to expect?

Data Conversations will feature short talks from researchers. Each talk will be about 10 minutes long. There will be opportunities to share your own experience.

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. 

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.

This meeting specifically focuses on Research Drive, so some experience with this tool would be a plus! You can request Research Drvie through services.vu.nl

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.
