SUMMARY:Edinburgh Open Research Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Good Research is Open Research – so what’s stopping us from making research more open? Join the conversation at Edinburgh Open Research Conference 2026 \nFull Programme – https://library.ed.ac.uk/research-support/eorc2026/programme \nThis one day conference provides an opportunity for all individuals interested in making research more open and accessible to come together to discuss their challenges\, success stories\, and next steps. \nThe ambitious “Recommendation on Open Science” produced by UNESCO recognises the broad scope and impact of Open Research – not just on knowledge production\, but also on the world at large. Built around the values of Quality and Integrity\, Collective Benefit\, Equity and Fairness\, and Diversity and Inclusion\, the model provides a foundation for a strategic and principled path forward. Over the past year we have begun revamping our action plan and internal model at the University of Edinburgh to reflect this ambitious and expansive scope. \nOur new action plan is more diverse and expansive than ever before\, and our strategies will build upon this new perspective\, taking into account our local context. To celebrate this positive step forward\, this year’s conference will therefore delve into the various values\, principles\, and actions highlighted by UNESCO’s model. \nJoin the conversation in person in 50 George Square\, University of Edinburgh or Online. Our sessions will explore the general principles of Open Research as described in our new action plan\, but also zoom in on specific areas\, as identified within UNESCO’s model. \nTickets can be booked on the Eventbrite pages: \nFor IN-PERSON attendance: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/edinburgh-open-research-conference-2026-in-person-tickets-1985574269089 \nTo join ONLINE: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/edinburgh-open-research-conference-2026-online-tickets-1986986380753

SUMMARY:ELIXIR-UK FAIR Contentathon #3
DESCRIPTION:The ELIXIR-UK RDM Club has been awarded a BioFAIR Pathfinder grant for a project called The FAIR-in-action Bridge. \nIn summary\, many UK research-performing organisations have FAIR data policies.  Many have guidance documents. What’s often missing is the middle layer: the practical\, ready-to-use materials that let RDM professionals in the life sciences turn that guidance into something researchers actually engage with. \nThe FAIR-in-action Bridge is a BioFAIR Pathfinder project\, led by coordinators of the ELIXIR-UK RDM Club\, that sets out to fill this gap. \nThe project will produce two FAIR-in-action playbooks for life science RDM professionals: \n\nHow to approach FAIRification: practical activities and templates for FAIRifying data.\nHow to communicate and advocate FAIR: talking points\, FAIR games and advocacy materials for different audiences\n\nBoth will be roughly 80% ready-to-use\, aggregating open FAIR material in the public domain\, with placeholders (20%) for your local context (eg institutional repositories and guidance). Both will be openly licensed and indexed. And both will be tested through one-day in-person rollouts at six UK RPOs. \nWe’re running three online Contentathons\, and we’d love you to join the ones that fit. This third and final Contentathon is a full day event\, on how to communicate and advocate FAIR. Hands-on\, structured in sections so you can join the bits relevant to you.
