> 
> Knowledge Exchange has the pleasure of inviting you to participate in the workshop 'Making Data Count: research data availability and research assessment' which will take on Thursday 11 and Friday 12 April 2013 in Berlin.
> 
> Academic research practice and culture are changing, but to a large degree the system of academic recognition has not yet adapted to the practices and possibilities of digital research. This applies especially to research data, which are increasingly produced, managed, shared, published and archived, but hardly play a role in research assessment.
> 
> The aim of the workshop is to bring experts and stakeholders from research institutions, universities, scholarly societies and funding agencies together to review, discuss and build on possibilities to implement the culture of sharing and to ensure that making research data available is integrated into research assessment procedures.
> 
> In the attached draft programme you will find more background information on the workshop, the structure and practical information. After opening with the perspectives of research performing organisations and funders there will be a presentation of the 'Landscape study on metrics for datasets from a cultural and technical point of view' and a panel session with researchers sharing their perspectives. Th is will be followed by discussions in the following break out groups:
> -       Quality assurance for data publication
> -       Linking data to other research information
> -       New metrics and citation systems to measure the impact of data publication
> -       Codes of conduct for sharing data
> -       Research assessment procedures
> 
> Practical Information
> The workshop is free of charge. Lunches and coffee breaks will be covered by Knowledge Exchange. Knowledge Exchange will not be able to cover the costs of your travel and accommodation.
