27th – 29th March, University of Leeds

The Internet of Things (IoT) and Open Data are two of the hottest topics at the moment. Both already have and will continue to have a remarkable influence on our everyday lives. However, what impact do IoT and Open Data have on research, how can researchers benefit from them and work towards making their data into Open Data and where do Open Data and IoT converge? The Software Sustainability Institute invites all members of the research software community to explore and discuss these and other questions at Collaborations Workshop 2017 (CW17) from 27th to 29th March 2017 at the Leeds University Business School, University of Leeds.

The Software Sustainability Institute’s Collaborations Workshops series bring together researchers, developers, innovators, managers, funders, publishers, leaders and educators to explore best practices and the future of research software. CW17 aims to gain insight into the topics of IoT and Open Data and how these impact and will impact on research. It is also an ideal opportunity to form collaborations (on average, attendees start two new collaborations) and to discuss topics proposed by attendees.
