9:00am – 9:45am   Opening Session  (MET Auditorium)

First thing on Monday morning we will all meet to kick off the inaugural Institute. Expect a short introduction, basic logistics information, run over the weeks schedule and a brief overview of the courses.

Moderator:  Cameron Neylon, Professor of Research Communications, Centre for Culture & Technology, Curtin University

Welcome Speaker:  Erik Mitchell, Librarian, The Audrey Geisel University 

 

4:45 PM – 6:15 PM   Lightning Talks (MET Auditorium)

This session will be 5-minute talks from participants of FSCI.  These short talks are meant to present something the presenter is passionate about, related to scholarly communications.  Talks may be about new technology that might change  our lives or vanish without a trace, tell us about a policy that has made a difference somewhere, rants about how the scholarly communications world should be, and other topics.  The talks will inspire us to think and to discuss things that make an impact on scholarly communications. 

Moderator: Daniel S. Katz
