FSCI 2021

After 30 minutes of announcements, logistics, and orientation, we will turn to a review of the history, purpose and ethos of FSCI for the remaining 90 minutes.
Ten years ago the meetings that led to the formation of FORCE11 were occurring. Five years ago a breakfast discussion among FORCE11 colleagues sparked what became the first FORCE11 Scholarly Communications Institute. Both of these initiatives grew out of an aspiration for radical change in scholarly communications. Sometimes it feels like nothing has changed, but we need to look back to understand how much has gradually shifted. Sometimes, it can feel like everything is moving too fast, but we need to look to shared values and constants that have sustained us through these shifts. As we open the fifth instance of the FORCE11 Scholarly Communications Institute, we will be in discussion with Phil Bourne and Anita de Waard who convened the first FORCE11 meetings, with Dan O’Donnell and Stephanie Hagstrom, who pulled together the first FSCI and as always, with leaders of the future in the audience.
We will be quizzing the audience for instant responses to these questions, as well! We will gently test your memory of what the state of scholarly communications was, and be part of a crowd-sourced prediction of what it could be as we open the fifth FSCI. What were we hoping for five and ten years ago? What have we helped to change, and what have we not? What changed, even though we didn’t expect it? 

This session is a repeat of the morning session. After 30 minutes of live announcements, logistics, and orientation, the remaining 90 minutes will include some recordings from the morning session, as not all our speakers can make both sessions.

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.

Session agenda in Google Docs

We’ve gathered some great panelists. 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.

These two distinct sessions will be presented live over Zoom twice on this day to allow participants from all time zones a chance to join in.  Featuring a sampling of FSCI2021 instructors, reflecting on important lessons they taught & learned in their classrooms this year, there will again be several ways for attendees to contribute to the discussion.  We will collectively pull together threads from the courses, the plenaries, and the community events, and begin to sum up what we’ve learned from each other and to lay out pathways to stay connected.
