6th Digital Research Conversation: Online Data Game & Quiz

Date: Wednesday 16th December 2020

Time: 12 till 1:30pm

After a series of excellent talks from no less than 26 of our BEAR users at the BEAR Conference in September, we thought we should focus on a more informal get together for our next Digital Research Conversation.

So, join us online to play a round of the DANS data game followed by a quiz to both test your knowledge and learn more about data management here at the University of Birmingham, with the chance to win prizes!

What to expect

The Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS) have invented a card game especially for researchers to give an overview of the research data landscape and the different areas involved. They have kindly provided an online version which we will play in teams of 3 or 4 in Zoom breakout rooms – the teams are assigned by the game so no need to form one yourself.

After the winners from each room have been determined we will all come together to test your knowledge on data management here at the University of Birmingham in an online quiz. Results from the winners of the Data Game will be combined with the quiz to determine who will win our star prize (kindly donated by Lenovo) and the runner up prize of a BEAR goody bag.

How to take part?

Register here. All UoB researchers are welcome (including postgraduates) and staff who support research, however only research staff or research students from the University of Birmingham are eligible to win the prizes. Advanced Research Computing reserves the right to determine the prize winners.

We will be using the hashtags #UoBDigRes and #DANSDataGame
