Workshop invitations

The invitation:

"The ESIP Federation, with support from the Moore Foundation, LASP, DataONE, the Board on Research Data and Information and the National Consortium for Data Science, is convening a one-day workshop to scope a study that would be done by the National Research Council in 2014-2015 on Research Priorities for the Science Data Enterprise. The workshop seeks to:

  • Define the primary emphases of an Academy study (domains, practice, priorities for research and funding, infrastructure)
  • Identify some of the grand challenges in scientific data infrastructure
  • Articulate why a study of these issues is needed now
  • Define the stakeholders of the study

The results of the workshop will be documented in a formal report, including highlights of key inputs from workshop participants and consensus recommendations made by its participants. The The workshop will be held on January 7, 2014 at the Renaissance Dupont Circle in Washington, DC and will bring together distinguished participants, representing broad stakeholder interests and thought leaders in the field of data science and supporting infrastructure. The workshop will be facilitated by William Michener, University of New Mexico Libraries and PI, DataONE.

A limited amount of travel support is available for workshop participants. Please accept or decline this invitation by Wednesday, October 23, 2014 to allow us to proceed with the workshop’s planning.

We look forward to seeing you in January.

Kind regards,

Carol B. Meyer (for the Workshop Steering Committee)"
