Seminar “Open Science and publication of research data – what you should know and what you can do”
Silvana Mandolessi was invited to deliver a speech at the Seminar “Open Science and publication of research data – what you should know and what you can do”, organized by the ERC Executive Agency and STM (International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers), at the European Commission, Brussels on 28 March 2017. The seminar focused on new policies related to the publication of research data with the main stakeholders involved: European Commission, academic publishers and ERC Grant holders from the three main research areas. Topics discussed during the seminar included new forms of data storage, the relationship between open research data and publications, differences between different research areas/disciplines with regard to the processing and publishing of data, as well as practical challenges related to publishing research data in “open access” (data curation, types of files, financing).
