   community, and citizen science in the global data ecosystem;
   - New and emerging trends in scholarly publishing for scholarly objects;
   - New constructs for transparency in scholarly communications;
   - Revitalizing the skillsets of emerging and current researchers for
   digital dissemination;
   - Balancing the demands of openness and security in ethical ways; and

Innovation Challenge


Think…. how could you make a real difference to research communications?
Are you looking for like-minded people, and would a seed fund of $1.5K help
kick-start your project? As part of its commitment to collaboration,
transparency and innovation, the FORCE16 conference is updating its 1K
Challenge session and encourages all delegates (both actual and virtual) to
participate.

Participants will create up to a 3 minute video using the Jisc Elevator
Pitch Tool (https://elevator.jisc.ac.uk/
<http://force11.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e2d2ee75f2d3afd1d39a666d&id=72d029e528&e=0e32d63db1>).
We will publicize these video clips to all Force2016 participants and then
each team will be able to pitch their idea in-person at the Innovation
Session on Tuesday April 19 at 2:30pm. We will conduct live voting during
the Innovation Pitch session and will determine up to 2 winners. Each
winning individual or team will receive a $1500 (U.S. dollar) cash prize to
support seeding or building their idea as well as $2000 (U.S. dollar) in
travel funding to bring this developed idea back to the next Force
Conference or to another conference chosen by the winner.
