Please note: the schedule for the most recent series of ‘Things to do with Data’ talks can be found here.
The ‘Things to do with Data’ series
of Wednesday lunchtime talks is back! Aimed at researchers from all disciplines who generate, gather, or delicately prise out pearls of data, this series looks at software, services, and techniques to help you make the most of that data. Covering aspects of data management from planning to re-use, these talks are intended to inspire whilst also considering the practical requirements of research funders and issues surrounding data sharing.
Last term we covered data security in the cloud, resources for research data managers, tools to help describe and share data in the life sciences, supercomputing data, and lab data management environments amongst other things. This term we have talks lined up on data visualization, network analysis, systems for managing medical data, and data as intellectual property, along with introductions to tools and services that might just help you look after your data more effectively. Featuring a mixture of IT staff and researchers from Oxford and beyond, ‘Things to do with Data’ will be making Wednesdays better between weeks 2 and 8.
Slides and recordings of last term’s talk are available from http://blogs.it.ox.ac.uk/acit-rs-team/events/rdmcourses/datatalks2014trinity/
