[AISWorld] Invitation to Attend Free Pre-ICIS Workshop: Issues in Shared and Collaborative Scientific Research

[Matt Germonprez]

Dear Colleagues,



I would like to extend an invitation to attend the *Issues in Shared and
Collaborative Scientific Research* pre-ICIS workshop at the O’Connell House
in Dublin, Ireland on December 10th from 9am-4pm. The workshop is free and
organized through collaboration between the Open Collaboration Data
Factories (OCDF), Lero – the Irish Software Research Centre, the TOTO
Project, and SIGOPEN, and the Irish Chapter of the AIS, with venue provided
by the University of Notre Dame.



We currently have 15 people attending the workshop but can accommodate up
to 20. Therefore, if you are interested in the workshop, attendance is free
but is limited to the first five (5) to express interest. Please contact me
directly if you are interested in attending. Workshop details follow:


*Free Pre-ICIS Workshop (December 10th): Issues in Shared and Collaborative
Scientific Research*



The workshop is funded through SAVI: NSF #1449209 and 1449188 and
explores research
as a significant driver of innovation, creator of economic activity, and
agent for social well-being. The workshop will highlight the new methods
that researchers use in open settings, including investigating how tools
may be designed to support different modes of collaboration, theory
development from rich qualitative methods, or open publishing strategies.
While research contexts are shared across research colleagues, differences
in data and methods leads to fragmented discourse across disciplines,
publications, and impact. Issues of coherence within different communities
studying the same data makes discussion about particular research issues
difficult.



This workshop will explore obstacles to progressing shared science across
disciplines. Participants will focus on identifying and removing known and
yet to be identified obstacles to shared and collaborative scientific
research. Building a community of scholars who address differences in
research aims, data, and methods will enable a new, interdisciplinary
synthesis of knowledge. Our aim is to increase the coherence of scientific
and public communication across existing disciplines.


Regards,

Matt Germonprez
