Upcoming Conferences from NISO



It’s *hard* to carve out six or eight hours from your workweek in order to
attend a day-long conference. Even when the topic is relevant and of
immediate interest to you, that conference had better be on-point,
practical, and engaging! NISO is focused on providing you with just that
and we’re offering two virtual conferences in the coming weeks that meet
those criteria.  Register now for one or both!



(1)

*Wednesday, August 31, 2016 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., EDT Data Curation:
Cultivating Past Research Data for Future Consumption*



This virtual conference will explore the many aspects of data curation. The
morning segment will provide attendees with an explanation of what services
libraries are expected to offer, a discussion of the data lifecycle, ideas
for fostering partnerships and collaboration, and information on the
ever-present legal and ethical concerns of handling data. The afternoon
program presents five case studies drawn from the humanities, the social
sciences, and the hard sciences. Speakers will describe their first-hand
experience of the unique challenges involved in curating data. Closing up
the conference will be a wrap-up discussion surfacing those facets of data
curation not covered previously.



Confirmed speakers are: *Suzie Allard*, University of
Tennessee–Knoxville; *Jennifer
Lee*, University of Texas–Austin; *Lisa Johnston*, University of
Minnesota–Twin Cities; *Melissa Levine*, University of Michigan; *Rebekah
Cummings*, University of Utah; *Ashley Clark*, Northeastern University; *Ian

*(2) Wednesday, September 11, 2016 **9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., MT*

*Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel*

*Denver, CO*
* Privacy Implications of Research Data*



In conjunction with the International Data Week event being held in Denver,
CO, this event will be offered both as an on-site event (RSVP here
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/H9JPDDL>) as well as a virtual (streaming)
event. There is *no* cost to the attendee, regardless of the selected
option!



NISO and The Research Data Alliance (RDA) have formed a joint working group
with the intent of addressing a major challenge regarding the advancement
of scientific data sharing: privacy and security. In particular, the
sharing of human-subject data is hampered by lack of any framework that
adequately factors in and addresses those concerns. The RDA-NISO Joint
Working Group is taking on the challenge of creating a global consensus
framework that can address the various privacy and security concerns.



With that objective in mind, attendees will hear from experts on the
following:

·      The feasibility of balancing research requirements with the need for
privacy protections

·      The limits of anonymization in the context of personally
identifiable information

·      The demands of security, privacy, and trust

·      Privacy, policy, and data governance in university research practice

·      Privacy and legal frameworks in the European Union

And more…



Confirmed speakers include *John Wilbanks*, Sage Bionetworks; *Micah Altman*,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology; *Christine Borgman*, University of
California–Los Angeles; *Christoph Bruch*, Helmholtz Association of German
Research Centres; *Paul Burton*, Professor of Infrastructural Epidemiology,
University of Bristol, England, with other names to be released soon!
