2017 Biennial ICPSR Meeting



*October 11—13, 2017 Ann Arbor 2017 ICPSR Meeting Website
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/membership/or/ormeet/index.html>*

*On behalf of the ICPSR, I am delighted to announce that registration for
the 2017 Biennial ICPSR Meeting is now open!*

This year's conference theme is *"Building for a Data-Driven Future."* Now
more than ever, producers, curators, and users of research data are
retooling to ensure data are available today and into the future. From the
data management systems they use, to the metadata they produce, to the data
sharing and preservation repositories they utilize, to the data-sharing
policies they develop, members of the data community are building a
foundation for discoverability and access to re-usable research data for
the future. And the future starts today!

Last fall, ICPSR's contacts at member institutions reported by survey, that
while they continue to play significant roles in assisting data users in
finding and analyzing research data and teaching resources, they face
increasing responsibilities in data management. Individuals expect that
responsibilities in the areas of sharing data, writing data- management
plans for grants, curating data, and managing data repositories will
increase. It is not surprising that individuals emphasize a need for
training and professional development (*retooling*) to confidently fill
these evolving roles.

ICPSR has been in the data sharing space for 55 years with the mission to
acquire, preserve, and share digital research data of the highest quality.
To sustain this mission, ICPSR has been *remodeling* its digital asset
management system from data ingest to curation to dissemination. In
addition, the *renovation* will support increased collaboration
opportunities, new types of data, and improved user experiences.

Combining Official Representative (OR) and user feedback with all that
ICPSR has learned through its data management system remodel makes for a
meeting program that is focused on professional development and practical
tips for delivering data services to your institutions. With over 17
workshops and sessions, this biennial meeting will highlight ICPSR's core
functions including current data collections and data-related tools and
exciting new data projects. The meeting will also impart practical
approaches and strategies to discover and access research data, work with
data producers to share data, write data management plans, and locate tools
and resources to assist in curating, preserving, and managing research data.

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 deliver
greater research impact.

Participation in the 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.

Workshops begin on Wednesday, October 11 and the meeting concludes at 1:30
p.m. on Friday, October 13.

For those that cannot attend the meeting in-person, concurrent program
sessions can be accessed using livestream (See Attend Virtually
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/membership/or/ormeet/attend-virtually.html>),
and presentation materials will be posted on the Program & Workshops
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/membership/or/ormeet/workshops.html>

We look forward to seeing you this fall!
