DCC/PLANETS/CASPAR/DPE Joint workshop: Developing an
International Curation
and
Preservation Training Roadmap
Hotel West End,
Nice, France
29-30 March 2007
http://www.d
cc.ac.uk/events/dicptr-2007/
The number of projects and institutions providing training
on aspects
digital curation and preservation has increased dramatically
in recent
years, resulting in a vast and often overwhelming number of
courses for
potential attendees to choose from. It is clear that
increased collaboration
is needed in order to establish a more co-ordinated
approach.
The Digital Curation Centre (DCC), Preservation and
Long-term Access through
NETworked Services (PLANETS), DigitalPreservationEurope
(DPE), and Cultural,
Artistic and Scientific knowledge for Preservation, Access
and Retrieval
(CASPAR) are pleased to announce a joint workshop to discuss
the vision of a
shared roadmap for digital preservation and curation
training. Participation
in this event is free, but spaces are limited to 25
participants. We are
keen to have representatives from a range of disciplines to
help us develop
a robust shared training programme that is of benefit to a
range of
communities of practice. This meeting has been initiated by
members of DPE,
PLANETS, CASPAR and DCC to begin discussions on how projects
might best work
together to establish a shared roadmap for digital
preservation and curation
training. We would like to encourage attendance from as many
key initiatives
and projects as possible, to ensure a high level of
discussion and
productivity.
Benefits of attending
The meeting will provide the opportunity to develop a shared
vision and
infrastructure for the provision of digital preservation and
curation
training. This will include identifying key themes and
topics that we might
offer collaboratively, discussing how disparate resources
can be maximised,
and discussing practical means for sharing training
information and content
between projects. Participation in the event will also
enable future access
to an online collaborative training forum, a tool currently
under
development which will allow projects to share their
training needs and
resources.
