The E-Research Peer Network and Mentoring Group Open House Webinar
Sponsored by CLIR/DLF
March 12, 2014, 12-1:30pm EST

CLIR/DLF recently announced the E-Research Peer Network and Mentoring Group (ERPNMG) created for former E-Science Institute (ESI) participants wishing to connect with peer institutions in various stages of research data service implementation. ESI alumni expressed the desire to build a shared community in a way that enables effective and efficient collaboration and strengthens skills necessary to meet the challenges associated with research data service development successfully.

The ERPNMG provides a mix of formal and informal opportunities for networking, resource sharing, and collaboration supported by CLIR/DLF’s organizational resources, as well as access to structured webinars and personalized consultations. CLIR/DLF is working with ESI faculty (Nancy McGovern and Chuck Humphrey) and CLIR/DLF postdoctoral fellows in data curation (including myself) to develop and facilitate this course.

An open house webinar with Chuck Humphrey is scheduled for March 12, from 12-1:30 PM EST. Please join us to learn more about ERPNMG during this open session. No registration required: http://clir.adobeconnect.com/peer_network/.

The first official structured course webinar will take place on April 23. A series of webinars and personalized consultations will run from April to October 2014. The course will culminate with an in-person event on October 26, 2014, where peer groups will have the opportunity to report back, connect, network, and collaborate. Participants will be encouraged to continue engagement with the community during the course and maintain regular meetings and contact after the course ends.
