FAIR Coffee lecture – Anna Harris

UM is on a mission to become a leading example in the Open Science movement, which aims to make research papers, data, methods, etc. open to anyone so we can all benefit. The FAIR principles go hand-in-hand with Open Science and they form a great guide to make sure that the research you make Open, can actually be used. With the FAIR Coffee lecture series, the Open Science Community of UM, in collaboration with the Community for Data-Driven Initiatives (CDDI), will help you find out more about these topics and discover how your colleagues have applied Open Science and FAIR principles to their research. These lectures are a perfect chance to dip your toes in the FAIR water and find inspiration in the work of others! Coffee/tea and cookies will be waiting for you!

For this session of the FAIR Coffee lecture, on March 1 2023 at 11 am, we’ve invited Dr. Anna Harris. She is Associate Professor at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of Maastricht University. Her research on medical practice mostly uses ethnographic methods, meaning that she conducts participant observation in the communities she learns from, whether medical schools or hospitals. She currently co-leads the UM Ethnography Group (which is always open for new members) and is finishing an ERC project which is a team ethnography of how doctors learn sensory skills (see www.makingclinicalsense.com). She will give a presentation entitled “Sensory Data Stories: the role of sensory methods in addressing de-contextualisation in qualitative data reuse”. More information can be found in the abstract.

The program is as follows:

• 11.00 A quick introduction on FAIR/Open Science and the FAIR Coffee lecture series
• 11.10 Main lecture by Anna Harris (Including discussion/questions)
• 11.55 Closing statement

This session will be a hybrid lecture, which you can either attend in person (location: Paul Henri Spaaklaan 1, room C2.017) or via Zoom (link will be shared in the confirmation email). Please indicate how you will attend by registering on the right side of the page.

See you there!
