Hey data enthusiast,

Does Open Science confound you enough to ask the spirits for help? Join us for the launch of our new GHOST game Open Séance - in which you team up with a medium to determine the perfect open science for your research.

The GHOST Collective (Games of Horror for Open Science Training) made hit card games such as Open Science against Humanity, Open Loves Science and Open Science Alliance. During this session we'll focus on playing the newest game, but there will be possibilities to try the wide arrangement of other games.

12:00 - Welcome + Lunch
12:10 - Introduction to GHOST collective
12:20 - Open Séance playtesting

As always, lunch will be included. 

Location: 3D (in W&N building, accessible through campus square)
 

What to expect?

Data Conversations will feature short talks from researchers or colleagues who support research. 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. Use the registration form at the bottom to indicate your dietary restrictions.

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.
