We’re delighted to announce that we will be holding an in-person 2-day event for our North American user community. The event will feature presentations from both the Symplectic Team and the Figshare Team, including themes across Open Access and Open Data, systems interoperability and joined-up data, and evaluation and review.

 

• Date: October 3-4, 2023

We can’t wait to see you in person again and are currently working on finalizing the program for the day. We will communicate further details in the coming weeks.

If you’d like to present and share your experiences on a particular topic, we welcome client talks and would love to hear from you on your ideas for a session – please get in touch!
