FSCI 2021

FSCI, in collaboration with the Reimagining Education Practices for Open (REPO), presents 5 interactive sessions stretched across a 24 hour period, allowing participation around the globe. Featuring a rotating cast of speakers connecting from time zones around the world, the events form a dynamic global panel session. We hope to examine community needs and goals - both through FSCI and in the wider research communication ecosphere. Picking up on the ideas touched upon in the opening plenary, we will challenge each speaker to reflect on past assumptions, explore what issues draw their focus today, and where they envision their focus will turn in the years to come.

We’ve gathered some great panelists (with more to be added soon). But the true value of the event is in the collective wisdom we intend to draw from all attendees, newly empowered with perspectives gained in your FSCI courses, in a wider format inspired by the questions addressed by the moderators and panelists. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and contribute ideas in online collaborative documents, expanding the discussions as they see fit in the FSCI Slack channels, and/or gathering with like-minded colleagues in our virtual Topia world.
