Love Data Lunch

There are many kinds of love, but none is as strong as our shared love for Open Science.

Celebrate the annual Love Data Week with us by examining the benefits of diverse professions and expertise in research groups! While specialisation is the standard outside of academics, researchers are expected to be experts on many different field in addition to their discipline. On top of your conducting your data gathering and analysis, modern research requires code wrangling, database browsing, publication acrobatics, citizen science herding and coffee corner networking. All worthwhile to research, but impossible to do without 25-hour workdays and steady infuse of caffeine. Luckily, you don’t have to do it all by yourself.  

This Love Data Week we’re looking at how to create the perfect open science team with the launch of the newest GHOSTgame: Open Science Alliance. After two exciting talks on the benefits of different kinds of expertise within research teams, there will be an interactive session where participants will engage with Open Science Alliance. Breeze through challenges with your team or watch your opponents take all the open science credits.

Let’s have a lunch full of thought-provoking discussions and new insights on Open Science during the Love Data Lunch.

Lunch is included in the event.

This event is part of the international Love Data Week; you can find the list of events happening around the world here.

Who should attend?

Love Data Lunch brings together researchers, research support staff and data management and data science experts from all subject areas. Early career researchers, as well as experienced academics, are welcome to attend. No primary knowledge is required. It is a fun festive event, celebrating love, data and open science, open to everyone interested.

Love Data Week

Love Data Week was established in 2016 as Love Your Data week. Originally created in the USA, it quickly grew to an international event in which a wide range of institutions, organizations, scholars, students, and other data lovers could celebrate their data. Originally coordinated by Heather Coates, the planning committee developed themes, wrote and curated content, and developed activities. The aim was to celebrate data in all its forms, promote good research data management strategies, share data success and horror stories, and ask hard questions about the role of data in our lives.

In 2018, the name was officially changed to Love Data Week. In 2021, ICPSR became the official hosting institution for Love Data Week.
