ORCID and Australian Universities
Channel: Australian Research Data Commons - ARDC
Date: 02/09/2014

ORCID (http://orcid.org/) aims to address the problem of unique identification of researchers by giving individuals a globally unique identification number that lasts over time.  Some of the world’s largest publishers, funders, and institutions have adopted ORCID and community uptake has dramatically increased over the past year. 

On 29 July 2014, the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) and the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) co-sponsored a national roundtable on ORCID to reflect on the progress of ORCID internationally, share national perspectives on ORCID, discuss institutional views of ORCID adoption and facilitate practical measures that can meet institutional needs.

Presenters will share their reflections on the Roundtable and present their institution’s perspective on the ORCID opportunity:
-- Heather Todd (University of Queensland)
-- Nathaniel Lewis (University of Sydney)
-- Simon Porter (University of Melbourne) 

This webinar is co-sponsored by ANDS and CAUL.
