Data Sharing Readiness in Academic Institutions

We have invited a series of speakers that will present on the state of data sharing in academic institutions. After a high-level overview of data sharing readiness based on recent research, members of the Realities of Academic Data Sharing Initiative, based at the Association of Research Libraries, will then provide more detailed information about the costs and activities involved in data sharing. We’ll close the presentation session with a case study from Princeton University Library.

Presenters will speak for a total of 45 minutes, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A, and 30 minutes of discussion in breakout rooms.

There is no limit to the number of attendees, but registration is required.
