The research project The Academic Institutes Open Research Data organizes a two day international workshop and seminar at Villa Lante in June 10th and 11th, 2019.
The seminar program is constructed around the main theme of legal as well as liscensing issues related to opening research data up for publication.
In relation to the participating institutes scientific activity, the main focus is on issues related to research data from archaeological, historical, ethnographic and art historical projects, but the related issues are of wider interest to the whole research community.
We have three confirmed speakers at the seminar:
Dr. Marjut Salokannel is a legal expert on immaterial rights and research data. Her main expertise is related to data protection and privacy issues related to data transfers in cross-border settings.
Dr. Koraljka Kuzman Šlogar National Coordinator for Croatia at DARIAH-ERIC; Head of the Archive at Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research.
Director Heli Kautonen is an expert on digital library services, and has a long expertise on as the head of digital library services at the National Library of Finland. She is currently the director of the library of the Finnish Literature Society.
Barbara Mancini is an expert on data publishing issues, and has worked with several datasets among the foreign institutes in Rome.
Other speakers to be announced later.
In addition to the speakers and individual papers by participants, the seminar will include detailed presentations of the pilots of the research project (See http://irfrome.org/language/en/activities/research/the-academic-institutes-open-researchdata/pilot-projects/). These pilots will be discussed through the themes of this seminar.
The program will take place at Villa Lante, the renaissance villa that is the operational locus of the Finnish Institute in Rome, during two days in June, 2019.
