Electronic Lab Notebooks - a workshop

Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) can be a useful tool in a research lab for keeping track of experiments, thoughts and data and for improving and streamlining research data management processes. Many of the ELN systems available have a high set-up cost and are primarily designed for use in an industrial research setting. However, some ELNs can and are being used in an academic research environment.

During this event, you will hear about RSpace (http://www.researchspace.com/), an ELN designed for use in academic institutions. Afterwards, there will be an evaluation of RSpace from a research group who have been using it in their work. There will also presentations from other researchers on how they use project management software (Basecamp https://basecamp.com/) and standard e-notebook software (OneNote) to document their research.
Lunch will be provided after the event for anyone who wants to stay and discuss the topics raised further.

When: Wednesday, March 16, 2016 from 11am to 1:30pm
Where: Level 5 Sir Alwyn Williams Building, University of Glasgow, United Kingdom

You can book a place at the workshop via the eventbrite booking service.
