This event is a collaboration between PSDI, University of Southampton, UCL and University of Glasgow. Join our dedicated event exploring the implementation and best practices of Electronic Research Notebooks (ERNs) in academic environments.


Why should you attend?

Over the last decade there has been a slow shift from using paper notebooks to considering the wide plethora of digital solutions out there; but with hundreds of tools to choose from, and a range of socio-technical barriers, implementing these tools is no mean feat.

We will be exploring the challenges, implementation considerations and best practices of Electronic Research Notebooks in academic environments. This is the first event of a series of future discussions around this area.


What will the event involve?

This event will host:

  • A mixture of presentations on key aspects of ERN implementation and associated projects working in this field
  • Lightening talks from participants to demonstrate different implementations and considerations across their domains and institutions
  • A rich set of discussions to facilitate knowledge sharing and elicit the key challenges and advice for best practice.


💥 BONUS CONTENT 💥

PSDI are involved in plans to resurface the JISC Research Notebooks Community to provide a platform for the entire ERN community to facilitate discussions about issues, implementation stories, case studies, and suggestions for best practice.

As part of this event, we’ll discuss how we can reinvigorate and use this group to better serve our ERN community.


Who will be attending?

This event welcomes individuals who have experience of implementing ERN systems (whether successful or not!) or are actively considering undertaking such an implementation.

Therefore, our audience will include:

  • Researchers
  • IT specialists
  • Library staff
  • Administrators

Please note that this event is targeted at ERN/ELN users as opposed to ERN/ELN vendors selling solutions. If you are a vendor interested in this event series, please keep an eye out for future events.
