*CANCELLED* Knowledge Exchange Week on Research and Education support in Dutch academic libraries
The Libraries of Eindhoven University of Technology, Tilburg University and Maastricht University are pleased to announce that they jointly organise the Knowledge Exchange Week focusing on experiences and challenges related to research and education support. Experts at the three libraries will highlight different aspects of how they support education and research at their respective institutions, and will showcase some of their initiatives and best practices. The three universities - situated in relative proximity to each other - each have their own signature: technical sciences, social sciences and an academic medical centre. This combination guarantees an interesting, varied programme.
The main topics will be:
- Supporting researchers and policy makers in the transition to Open Science
- Open Science and Research Data Management in the Social Sciences and Humanities
- Education Support: Digital Learning Environment/learning spaces, skills support, e-learning.
The programme consists of a stay of 1,5 days at each of the three participating University Libraries: Eindhoven University of Technology, Tilburg University, Maastricht University.
Participants
This staff week is aimed at library professionals with varied backgrounds working in libraries of higher education institutions with interest in sharing ideas, benchmarking of practices and networking with international colleagues.
Please note that an active participation is required. Participants are asked to contribute to the programme with a presentation (on the basis of a blog or vlog) of their experiences during the week.
The number of participants should be at least 6 and at most 10, with a maximum of 2 attendees per institution. Selection is made according to your stated motivation and reasons for taking part in this programme.
