2013 Biennial ICPSR Meeting

*October 9-11, 2013
Ann Arbor*

ICPSR is excited to announce that the registration site for the 2013
Biennial Meeting is now open! This year's conference theme is "Beyond
Access: Curating Data for Discovery, Re-Use, and Impact." ICPSR is pleased
to be participating in efforts to broaden access to research data while at
the same time curating data to ensure that they can be found and used
effectively for generations to come. Curating data benefits the entire
research community and maximizes research investment.

Though ICPSR has been in the data sharing space for over 50 years, we
continue to refine our approaches to data management and training. With
over 15 workshops and sessions, this biennial meeting will highlight
ICPSR's recent developments in the areas of open access, restricted data
management, training and education, digital curation, and importantly, new
data tools. In addition, this meeting serves as an opportunity for
researchers, teaching faculty, librarians, policymakers, and data
professionals to gather and share ideas that will aid us as a data
community to facilitate research and make impact.

Participation in this ICPSR meeting is limited to individuals from ICPSR
Member Institutions<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/membership/administration/institutions>
and
invited presenters and guests. There are no registration fees for this
meeting.

ICPSR's program and workshops
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/membership/or/ormeet/workshops.html>will
focus on training attendees to use ICPSR's data tools including the Social
Science Variables Database, online analysis (SDA), secure data analysis
systems, data-driven teaching resources, and ICPSR's various data
collections. It will also provide training in data curation and
introductory statistical software use. Workshops begin on Wednesday,
October 9, and the meeting concludes at 1:30 on Friday, October 11.

In addition, the Data Seal of
Approval<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/membership/or/ormeet/data-seal.html>(DSA)
is proud to announce that its second international conference will be
held on Tuesday, October 8, 2013, in Ann Arbor, MI, the day before the
ICPSR Biennial Meeting begins.
