 Okay, so the first talk is going to be a double act with Gabriella Lopez Gonzalez at the University of Leeds, handing over to Richard from Rottenstead. And they're going to be talking about two years of Elixir UK Fellowship and UK study. Hello, I don't know if you can see me. So, yeah, the title of our talk is like the two years of Elixir UK Fellowship and we're going to talk about the two NERC related case studies. I think the next one. So just a bit of background so the Elixir Fellowship Program is a program that was created to tackle the some of the hurdles related to research data management, which were identified by the team as time and funding buying skills. So, the idea is that the fellowship will create a cohort that will embed research data management and know how in UK universities and institutes, and that the group of fellows, we will create training materials and deliver training to our own research groups. Can you get the next one? Yeah, the other side. Yeah. Gabriella's upon the screen. So I just have to use the right window. And we're still on the three, three four to slide there while we have a little break. It's strange because it's not showing me the side control. Okay, so as you can see there's a dragon and that's because Shania who's the community manager, like really created this visual imagining of what happens so we have like universities can be seen as castles. We have lots of data, but then the, we can't access the data we can manage it properly, because of the hurdles that I mentioned properly that, and those hurdles are like a significant represented by the dragon. So here very much in like a spirit like a fellowship of the rings fellows, we want to fight the dragon. We want, we're going to be ambassadors that we're going to learn from each other and our mentors to prove our research data management in our organizations. So that's in a nutshell what the fellowship group is. And then it's like, how are we going to do it or how the, the organizing team, the management team visualizes so to buy in so how do we manage to solve the buying problem and the solution was target fellows of any career stages and in different fields. The next hurdle which is time and funding. It's not just so you get the fellows but you need to make sure they're engaged. So, and Richard and I have the rest of our fellows we get paid an honorarium. So we can our timing our buying, we're compensated for it. And also we have access to expert consultants. And then the third solution is, well there's a skill so the idea is that the group of fellows also became trainers that can deliver training locally. And we all have received a train to trainer courses. And we also have mentors with, of course that help improve our skills. And for me, as an example, more importantly has been the communication that I can have with other fellows like Richard. So we can talk about similar problems, and then share ideas. And of course, the buying the time, the funding and the skills have a outcome that can be easily identified so we're all producing a RDM bytes, which are videos that you can access to access to the lexical website, but also there's training materials training courses. And other activities. The next one Richard this. So like in a nutshell. So, after two years of the lexical fellowship that there's now 24 fellows from 18 organizations as you can see, and we all have different reasons for apply I will talk more about in my section about that why I applied. But then having access to skills and mentoring. That's been fantastic so it's like, I think it's working and not the, some of the benefits that people who apply for this have experiences like benefits, career promotion. And in general it's like just having a really supportive environment, some of the people who are interested in data as much as you are, and you can change ideas with them. So most of the most of the fellows are in the life sciences, talking about genomics for the genomics and very kind of different to what Richard and I do. So, but then so that in the first cohort, it was more like life sciences really like hardcore life sciences and then the second cohort where Richard and I come in. Ecological related fellowships so I'm going to be talking next about my link to elixir and how I can be a nerd related case study and have the next one Richard. So, a very important thing about elixir is that we have a there's a community of experts and we all as fellows have access to them so we can. It's been really interesting to talk to people from different institutions and learn about how they're managing their data and doing research in their organizations. Next one. And of course, so in the UK we have those organizations but across Europe there's 22 countries so this year I had the, I was invited to attend the elixir all hands, which took place in Dublin and it was fantastic to see people from all those 22 countries, talking about what are kind of approaches they take to data management in their research. So now I'm going to talk about how do my research links fits into elixir and how it also relates to next so, as I said earlier I'm going to love as I work at the University of Leeds, and my role is on, I develop a conformatic tools for long term long term monitoring research. Previously I worked for a project called forest plots, where I was a lead developer on the data management application for managing forest data, tropical forest, and now I'm applying my experience of working in tropical forest to peatlands, deciding a similar kind of approach where we have a network and a database that we used to manage our data in a standardized format. Next one. So that's what I'm a research but then I want to talk about why, why do you apply for the fellowship so I applied because I wanted to develop some RDM training materials where there's no materials. So, the peatland community we do lots of things hands on, but there's no much training on materials in relation to research data management. So I would, my, my plan is to develop the training materials but also embed those materials and other materials produced by by the fellowship members and other people for elixir. So I would like to build those materials to the, my organization but also my pizza network and work to create a community of practice, which looks at what happens in the field, but also takes very seriously the research data management. So we can answer some of them. It's related research questions. Next one. So something really important for me that I'm getting from this fellowship is that I want to build a community of practice practice for peatland monitoring. So when we bring together academic researchers NGOs and government agencies, and also all the volunteers citizen scientists working on peatland research, and at the core of the training we have the research data management. And why I'm saying like we wanted at the core because last last year when I was at the IUCN peatland conference. One of the big discussions we had is like, where is the data, what data, what data is being gathered and where is it, where is it, and how can we make sure that our data is best maintained and made available so of course that completely resonates and having a thinking about RDM skills for the people in the RDM skills to the peatland community, and also have practical advice on how to verify our data sets. I think the next one. I think that I found by joining the league series that there's also lots of communities. And there's one recent community has was a group of interest but now it's a community. And it's the biodiversity community which kind of overlaps a bit with, with what we do in peatlands because quite a lot is about understanding which pieces live in the peatland sites. And my plan now on as an add-on is to think how I can link what I'm doing with the peatland community. I'm with the kids and in Yorkshire with a broader biodiversity community RDM people from Elixir.
