Community EventsTurning your research ideas into reality - 10-11 March 2010, EdinburghFrom OMII-UK Events. Published on Jan 18, 2010. 2010-03-10Collaboration increasingly lies at the heart of successful research. To help develop new collaborations, the Collaborations Workshop will bring together researchers, funding body representatives and technology experts in Edinburgh on 10-11 March 2010. This expertise, combined with the workshop's novel structure, will create the perfect opportunity to meet researchers with complementary skills who, in collaboration, could help turn your ideas into a reality. Visit the Collaborations Workshop website. Register for the Collaborations Workshop. The focus of the Collaborations Workshop is e-Research: the harnessing of computer technology for research. Expect to hear about how to exploit the latest technologies, maximise funding possibilities and how researchers from all disciplines have benefitted by sharing expertise and experience. In addition, David Flanders, the JISC's programme manager of the Information Environment, will present a personal view on managing projects. At last year's workshop, a similar mix of expertise led to a number of new collaborations, some of which have already become funded projects. The Collaborations Workshop is organised by OMII-UK, an e-Research organisation which is funded by the UK Research Councils. With many years of experience working with researchers from various disciplines, OMII-UK has the expertise to match researchers with those people who are best suited to realise their ideas. Matchmaking is a key aspect of the Collaborations Workshop and the reason that last year's workshop was described as 'a very useful way for elaborating plans and drawing in other partners to [our] project'. The workshop employs a novel structure: the agenda is controlled by the delegates. Topics for discussion are suggested and the most popular are determined by a vote. The topics are explored in a series of parallel breakout sessions, with conclusions reported back to all delegates at brief feedback sessions. Aside from ensuring that only the most important topics are explored, this structure introduces flexibility into the agenda. Extra time is given to the ideas that prove most fruitful, and discussions that have come to a conclusion can be closed down. The agenda will initially be shaped by delegates that register early. To see the discussion themes as they emerge, visit http://oss.ly/w. Today's research is becoming increasingly dependent on technology and expertise from outside a researcher's own discipline. This fact has been identified by the Research Councils who promote interdisciplinary research as one of the ways to optimise research spending. With research funding heading towards an uncertain period, there has never been a better time to build new collaborations and establish new contacts, and the perfect forum for this is the Collaborations Workshop. Data-Intensive Research: how should we improve our ability to use data - 15-19 March 2010, EdinburghFrom OMII-UK Events. Published on Feb 18, 2010. 2010-03-15Today there is a growing abundance of data often in large-scale collections or with great complexity. It is pertinent to every pressing strategic challenge, to the deep questions that research addresses and the urgent application sciences. A great deal of thought is needed to improve our capabilities to use data well in a wide variety of research endeavours. The workshop will bring together practitioners, theoreticians and technologists with a wide range of viewpoints to shape a strategy for the thinking and research that is needed. For more information, and to register, visit the conference website. The cross-fertilisation of ideas between disciplines and viewpoints will spark new insights and steer us towards more effective strategies. This will be captured as a map of the research challenges and potential routes to address them with flags indicating where groups and individuals are working and what they plan. It will draw attention to identified gaps. The purpose of this meeting is to bring together experts in a complementary set of areas of Data-Intensive Research, bring each other up to speed on the thinking in other areas and then identify research challenges and strategies.

Published on Mar 10, 2010. 2010-07-15InterFace 2010: Humanities and Technology. The 2nd International Symposium for Humanities and Technology, University of Warwick. Visit the conference website. Computer hardware in contemporary society has brought technology increasingly within the attention and reach of those working in the Humanities. In turn, many within the technology sector have become aware that understanding human nature is fundamental to understanding our interactions with technology. A new generation of academics and practitioners working in such fields as Human-Computer Interaction, Digital Humanities and Web Science has arisen to tackle these issues. The pioneering nature of their agendas has resulted in work that could be better integrated into the mainstream of both sectors. InterFace: Humanities and Technologies is a non-profit effort to provide a forum through which researchers can learn about the latest developments in both Technology and the Humanities in order to create groundbreaking new combinations between them. The forum was considered widely successful in its first year, gathering 70 researchers to discuss ideas and future projects involving humanities and technology related subjects.
