Who should attend

Staff from research offices, faculty affairs, sponsored programs, and any additional members of research institutions and universities who support the collection of research outputs, research reporting and analysis, assessment and evaluation workflows, public-facing webpages and directories, and economic and industry partnerships.

Overview

All of the acronyms in the research ecosystem can feel like a bowl of alphabet soup: RIMS, CRIS, FIS, P&T, FAR, IR, RDM… Your workflows can feel equally messy if you are using a different tool to solve each task. Let Digital Science help you reduce your software bloat and go from alphabet soup to an acronym engine with Symplectic Elements and Figshare that automatically consolidate, integrate, and simplify your ecosystem.

What we will cover:

  • Essential, automatic data aggregation to fuel a multitude of workflows
  • Clear, intuitive tools to assist with administrative reporting, public showcasing, and tech transfer
  • Demonstrate how to simplify a complex research ecosystem using fewer, quality solutions

Presenter

Alexandra Winzeler, Business Development Manager for Symplectic Elements
