PresQT engages stakeholders in a collaborative planning effort to enhance
reproducibility and more open sharing of research data and software.

This is the first of two plannedPresQT workshops funded by an IMLS National
Library Leadership grant to convene user communities and tool providers
engaged in data and software preservation to assess needs, look at the
successful tools of today, and brainstorm about the data and software
preservation tools of the future. What do your users and systems need most
to enable better software and data preservation? Better data quality?

Workshop Format:


   -

   Keynote talks
   -

   Lightning talks* (See deadlines below, Submit an Abstract! )
   -

   Breakout sessions*: teach, learn, prototype hackathon, roundtables,
   panels & brainstorming sessions (See deadlines below, Submit an Abstract! )
   -

   Other workshop ideas/topics that you would like to promote?


Give a lightning talk at the workshop or lead a breakout session!

We want everyone to have an opportunity to share their enthusiasm and
inspiration! Workshop sessions and lightning talks provide a great
opportunity to speak about your experiences, opinions or ideas related to
data and software preservation needs. Topics raised in the session and
talks will generate inspiration, discussion and even carry over into our
casual coffee break conversations.  Express your interest in speaking or
leading a session by sending a brief email to
presqt-contact-list at nd.edu & submit
a short (maximum 1 page) abstract of your session concept by April 7  or
lightning talks by 12 April .
