Pathfinder Outputs: Workshops

In order to enable research and information managers to learn from the Pathfinder projects and each other, thereby making the most of the knowledge and experience from across the wider community, each Pathfinder project is required to organise a workshop by which discussion, debate and knowledge- exchange can be shared across the sector.

***Edinburgh Pathfinder (LOCH): ARMA OA Good Practice Exchange workshop- March 2015***

This interactive workshop aimed to equip research managers and administrators with an understanding of tools to support the open access publication life-cycle and strategies to monitor and enhance institutional compliance and researcher engagement.

***Glasgow Pathfinder (E2EOA) workshop: Open Access and the REF: Issues and Potential Solutions’- Jan 2015***

This all day workshop looked at metadata requirements, processes, evidence and related issues for the next REF. Intended to be an interactive workshop, it brought together those interested in how we can use/ develop/ modify institutional systems (CRISs and/or IRs and/ or other software) to manage the additional metadata requirements for the next REF.
