IAP panel discussion on the importance of sharing, managing and preserving research data

Monday, January 7, 2013,  11 am – 1 pm,  4-149

You are invited to join 5 researchers, information scientists and others in a lively discussion on the importance of sharing, managing and preserving research data.
Science in the 21^st century is increasingly data-driven thanks to soaring computational power and sophisticated analysis techniques. Researchers gather, manipulate and interpret data in every imaginable way to build a foundation for new discoveries. The importance of preserving and making these research data accessible has become a highly charged topic of discussion. How will these data be stored, preserved and mined effectively and efficiently?

Panelists: Jeff Schiller, IS&T; Charlie Whittaker, Koch Institute; Stephen Ho, Lab for Manufacturing and Productivity; Micah Altman, MIT Libraries; Shawna Vogel, OSP

See you there!
