Open Research at Cambridge 2021
The Open Research at Cambridge conference took place online, from 22 - 26 November 2021.
The series of events aimed to open up conversations around Open Research within a Cambridge context and covered various topics including reproducibility, narrative CVs, open research infrastructure, open research in the arts and humanities, open data sharing, public engagement and open access book publishing.
The vast majority of materials and supporting documents from these sessions are now available and can be accessed here:

Cambridge Data Week 23-27 November 2020
In a series of talks, panel discussions and interactive Q&A sessions, researchers, funders, publishers and other stakeholders will explore and debate different approaches to research data management. Each day for a week we will be addressing key questions on specific topics such as innovative ways of supporting researchers with data management, sustainable models and levels of expectation for peer reviewers when it comes to data, successes and future trends in data reuse, and the relationship between reproducibility and data management. All events will offer the opportunity for questions from the audience and we hope to encourage discussions around these topics.
To find out more and register, visit the Cambridge Data Week pages.
