2nd user day „OpenIRIS for JenaVersum”

2nd user day „OpenIRIS for JenaVersum“

When?           May 6, 2025 | 2-4 p.m.
Where?          Auditorium „Zur Rosen“ (Johannisstraße 13, Jena)

The universities and research institutions in Jena are excellently equipped. Sharing this infrastructure promotes cross-disciplinary synergies and interdisciplinary cooperation and enables resources to be used sparingly. With the help of the open source platform OpenIRIS and its various functions, the different needs of the research institutions can be mapped for a coordinated use of the research infrastructure. This provides an overview of the research infrastructures in the network, displays terms of use transparently and allows bookings to be made.

The successful first user day in 2024 will be followed up this year in order to bring users and interested parties together, increase visibility and acceptance and strengthen cooperation within the JenaVersum network.

We cordially invite you to our 2nd user day “OpenIRIS for JenaVersum”. This event offers an excellent opportunity to learn about the possibilities of OpenIRIS, to exchange experiences and to benefit from the experiences of other users.

The event will take place on May 6, 2025 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Auditorium Zur Rosen (Johannisstraße 13, Jena). Participation is free of charge, but registration is required. Register here now!

The event will be held in german language.
