So you want to share data in your (institutional*) repository…
Join us for a day of data repository do’s, don’ts, and everything in-between on March 13, 2020, at Tufts University’s medical education building in Boston. In the morning, a panel of speakers with diverse experiences establishing, administering, and troubleshooting data repositories will discuss topics ranging from generating administrative and researcher buy-in to cross-departmental collaboration and technical support. In the afternoon, a roundtable discussion will engage attendees to explore their experiences with the unique benefits, challenges, and surprises, pleasant or otherwise, of managing data in repositories.
Registration is now open! Please visit our Eventbrite page to register. Space is limited.
Location: Medical Education Building, Room 114 East, Tufts University, 145 Harrison Ave, Boston, MA 02111
