On-Demand Sessions by other communities that Chemistry agreed to co-sponsor.
Technically Speaking: Competitive Intelligence in Science and Engineering
When: On-Demand Available October 5- November 13, 2020
Content Level: Intermediate
Sponsor: Competitive Intelligence Community
Description: Intelligence work in science and engineering is unique and often requires specialized skills. In this session, learn from practicing CI professionals in science and engineering fields. They will discuss their varied responsibilities, go-to intelligence techniques and tools, and the ways they meet the expectations set by their clients and stakeholders. You’ll gain an understanding of how CI professionals practice in these fields, and leave with tips and ideas you can implement in your own intelligence work.
Transforming Open Science to Open Scholarship
When: On-Demand Available October 5- November 13, 2020
Content Level: Fundamental
Sponsor: Sci-Tech Community
Description: Science and technology communities have hand-in-hand reshaped their culture and practice, influencing other fields. The principles and values of Open Science are rapidly re-shaping the landscape of scholarship. Here we discuss the past, present, and future of Open Science and its movements and practices (OER, data sharing, and more), and the advent of an Open Scholarship for all, closing the door on institutionalized "closed" scientific practices from the pre-Internet age.
