Introducing Research Bazaar, or #ResBazAZ for short, a worldwide
festival promoting the digital literacy emerging at the center of modern
research. Research Bazaar started two years ago in Melbourne, Australia
and has gone global. This year it comes to UA for the first time! The
event aims to equip researchers from all career stages with the digital
skills and tools required to do their research better, faster and
smarter. Think unconference coupled with highly useful workshops to
increase your skill set exponentially.
Schedule:
Friday is principally designed to get to know one another and create
affinity groups in "unconference" style. In other words, talk to people,
discover opportunities to learn from one another, spontaneously work on
projects, bring your questions to look for answers and crowd source
solutions. Never been to an unconference before?
- 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.: Welcome and Lightning Talks (stage at the UA
Mall) Participants will introduce themselves through short lightning
talks about what they research, their skillset, what they want to know,
questions they have. The only requirement is that you keep it under 10
minutes and your talk somehow relates to the general themes of digital
literacy and modern research.
- Throw up your ideas for pop-up sessions. Want to talk about data
visualization? Python? GIS? Social Media? GitHub? We will have a central
place to coordinate and facilitate your groups meeting among tents on
the mall. You can get started early by adding your ideas now.
- 12 p.m. – 4 p.m.: Unconference style meetups. Feel free to gather in
the tents, go as a group to lunch or propose a dedicated workshop for
Saturday.
- 4 p.m.: Unsponsored happy hour. Continue the party at Pasco with the ResBaz AZ coordinators.
Saturday (Science-Engineering Library)
- 9 a.m.: Join us for a welcoming keynote at the
Science-Engineering Library to start the day. Coffee and light
refreshments will be served!
- Workshops begin at 10 a.m. in both the Main Library and
Science-Engineering Library. Topics include R-Studio, Graph Databases,
Advanced git, Storymaps and ArcGIS, Virtual Reality, Stream Processing,
Drones, 3-D Modeling and more! The Unconference continues in the
Collaborative Classroom of Science-Engineering all day. Continue the
conversations, meet new people, work on projects.
This event is free. Register here. For more information please visit the Research Bazaar website.
