Roll-up, roll-up 2024 members’ day in-person
5th of June 2024 sees the return of our popular UK ORCID Consortium members’ day meet-up held as an in-person event. Since 2020 we have run several online meetings in different formats and tackling different themes and activities. Now its time to meet up face to face again. The venue is the Crowne Plaza Birmingham City Centre. We hope to see you there! Register here.
We have mostly stayed faithful to the formats used in the previous annual events, with the return of our usual sections making for a very varied day of learning and sharing experience.
What updates will there be on the day?
There will be updates from the Jisc as UK ORCID consortium lead, ORCID and UKRI.
What else is on offer?
Our Member Experience section will have 3 contributions from University of Bath, University of Liverpool and Oxford University providing inspiration and ideas based on grass roots practice and stories.
Break out groups are themed to cover technical and non-technical discussions. These are smaller groups of informal discussion addressing topics of interest, featuring our Birds of a Feather sessions (where you can meet up with peers using similar CRIS and repository systems). They provide space to explore ideas or interests that may be in the earlier stages, a chance to put feelers out to find others with a similar interest or problem area, or a get-together of like-minded individuals. If you have an idea please reach out and we will be delighted to help you use this section of the day to help launch and develop your idea into a community-driven initiative.
This year we will also be hosting a workshop run by UKRI to investigate features using ORCID when developing future iterations of their grant managing software.
Who will I be chatting to?
The event will appeal to those who are in a variety of roles within UK higher education and research, spanning from advocacy and researcher support, strategic outputs management and planning, to technical systems support. We have time during lunch and coffee breaks for informal chats and catch up.
How many people can we send?
We encourage all member institutions to be represented at the event and have at least one attendee per member. If you would like to send additional participants please register and we will confirm places nearer to the date depending on demand. We would hope to accommodate all requests from UK ORCID consortium members. Any prospective members or non-consortium members are asked to contact us using [email protected] to express an interest before registering – payment may be required.
Who should attend?
Anyone working on ORCID within UK higher education in various roles is very welcome and should benefit from the event. You could be working in the library, in research support, in research management, in IT, managing identity, monitoring outputs or impact. Whether you are front-facing speaking to researchers, strategically managing policy or infrastructure around identifiers, or working with research and other institutional systems that identify people and their outputs, there will be something for you at our meeting.
