SWISS RESEARCH DATA DAY 2024: The Challenges of the Economical and Ecological Research Data Archiving

OLOS Association in partnership with the Geneva School of Business Administration (HEG-GE Switzerland) and the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons (FHGR) is pleased to invite you to the fourth edition of the Swiss Research Data Day.

SRDD 2024 is a one-day conference, held in presence at The University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons, in Chur, Switzerland.

The conference will focus on economical and ecological challenges of archiving research data and encourage discussions on innovative low-cost data storage solutions, ecological requirements in data management and FAIRness (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) and CAREness (collective benefit, authority to control, responsibility, ethics) assessments.

Looking forward to see you at the SRDD 2024 Conference!
