The ICPSR Summer Program would like to announce the following workshops:

*Curating and Managing Research Data for Re-use*
*Dates and Location:* July 25-29, 2016 in Lisbon, Portugal
*Instructors:* Louise Corti, UK Data Archive at the University of Essex;
Jared Lyle, ICPSR; Veerle Van den Eynden, UK Data Archive at the University
of Essex
*Description:* This five-day workshop is for individuals interested or
actively engaged in the curation and management of research data for
sharing and reuse, particularly data librarians, data archivists, and data
producers and stewards with responsibilities for data management.
Participants will learn about and gain proficiency in the full range of
life cycle activities: data review and preparation; confidential data
management; effective documentation practices; how to create, comply with,
and evaluate required data management plans; digital repository
requirements and assessment; and running user support and promotional
activities for data. Emphasis will be placed on hands-on exercises
demonstrating curation practices and on discussion for sharing local
experiences and learning from others. Additional context and expertise will
be provided through invited keynote lectures by research data experts.


*Geospatial Data Curation*
*Dates and Location: *June 27-29, 2016 in Palo Alto, California
*Instructors: *Kimberly Durante, Stanford University, and Darren Hardy,
Stanford University
*Description:* This three-day workshop will focus on strategies for
developing scalable and sustainable repository services for the curation of
geospatial data. Participants will learn how to develop data and metadata
management workflows that support the preservation and discovery of these
resources using open source platforms. Aspects of modeling and wrangling
GIS data within a digital repository will be demonstrated for a variety of
content types, including historic scanned maps, vector data, raster data,
scientific data, and georectified maps. Approaches for creating metadata
that support preservation and data sharing mandates will be covered in this
course, along with methods for auto-generating and transforming metadata
for aggregation and web-scale delivery. This workshop is designed for
practitioners across the spectrum, including researchers, developers,
librarians, and managers.
