Love Data Week is an international celebration of data, taking place every year during the week of Valentine's day. 

Everyone is encouraged to participate in events and activities hosted online from around the world. Some suggested local, national, and international events are listed below:

Monday, February 13

Learn With Borealis: APIs (1-2 PM) 

• Join Meghan Goodchild (Research Data Management Librarian at Queen’s and Scholars Portal) and Zack Taylor (Western University) for an intro to Borealis APIs, an overview of resources, hands-on demonstration using tools, and research use cases.
  

Wednesday, February 15

Developing a Data Management Plan (12-1 PM)

• Join the Queen’s Data Champions to learn about the importance of data management planning, what questions to ask when creating a DMP, and what resources are available to you to responsibly manage and document your data throughout the life of your project.
  Register fort the Developing a Data Management Plan session

All week

Digital Research Alliance of Canada’s Humanities and Social Science Winter Series 

•  A national series of workshops focused on digital research needs within the humanities and social sciences (HSS) community, including machine learning, OpenRefine, Programming in R, and more.
  

For most academic researchers, the “bread and butter” comes from a successful application for research funding. However, academic awards (along with other forms of promotion) represent a marketing exercise that can effectively launch an academic reputation. Many early career researchers focus solely on publishing and grant applications, without understanding the impact that an award can make. More experienced researchers may not think a “prize” can have downstream positive impact, and most are unaware of the impact it can have on institutional reputation.

The Vice Principal Research Portfolio puts a high priority on supporting our faculty in building up their award portfolios. Based on her past experience in working within the research sphere in conjunction with her current role in coordinating academic/research prizes and awards, Mona Rahman (Research Awards Officer), will outline the value of the award nomination process, and offer suggestions on how to best position oneself for success.

For the 13th year, Science Rendezvous Kingston will take over the Leon’s Centre and The Tragically Hip Way. Join us Saturday, May 13, 2023, from 10 am - 3 pm as we turn them into the largest pop-up science Discovery Centre in Canada!

This year's theme is CREATE. This theme will showcase how discoveries are made and new knowledge is constructed by scientists in labs, forests, space, underground, in hospitals, and remote stations.

The return to an entirely in-person event will be responsive to public health measures should new protocols arise. 
The day will feature many of the special touches that have led to national awards in the past, such as a take-home program book filled with STEM activities to do at home, swag bags and unique displays. 

Visit our Science Rendezvous Kingston website for details

Join creative arts research community members from Queen’s University and Emily Carr University, to discuss funding opportunities at , brainstorm ideas, and share creative energy.

Of note, Chelsea Fahey, our special guest from SSHRC, will share experiences on research creation and funding opportunities. Ms. Fahey has been with SSHRC since 2019 and is the Program Officer responsible for the Insight Grant and Insight Development Grant Fine Arts and Research-Creation committee. Chelsea has a background in communication, media, museum studies and improvisation. 
 
Advance questions for Ms. Fahey are welcome and may be sent to Rebecca Pero at pero.rebecca@queensu.ca. 

The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio invites you to join us for an R4R@Q on Maladaptation and Co-production with a presentation by Dr. Marcus Taylor.

Maladaptation and Co-production: Big terms, but what do they mean for grant applications?
Granting agencies have increasingly focused on funding climate change research projects that address ‘maladaptation’ by using methodologies focused on the ‘co-production’ of knowledge. Dr. Marcus Taylor talks through what the concept of maladaptation entails, how it was integrated into the IPCC’s new approach to climate change policy, and provides examples from his work in rural India. Conversely, granting agencies increasingly emphasise that the co-production of knowledge with impacted communities is a potential solution to maladaptation. Overviewing different co-production approaches, Dr. Taylor cautions that there are sharp debates over what co-production means in both theory and practice and suggests some potential pathways forward.

Session Material: (  Queen's NetID required)

The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio invites you to the third session of the RDM Brown Bag Information Series, where you will learn about the benefits and considerations around depositing your research data into a repository.

Topics will include: 
•    Information about the data deposit requirement of the Tri-Agency RDM policy
•    Considerations for selecting a repository for your specific research data
•    Demo of depositing a dataset into the of , the Canadian Dataverse Repository.
•    Disciplinary perspective of reviewing data for a biology journal
