  1. Empowering Irish Research and Researchers - ACERR as Digital Transformation in Action. Orla Murphy University College Cork Co Chair Arts and Culture in Education Research Repository National Coordinator DARIAH IE Board Member, Digital Repository of Ireland

  2. Vienna November 2018 - EOSC Launch

  3. Vienna Declaration - FAIR … OPEN

  4. Cristina Martinez - EU Commission

  5. Wissenschaft Wissen … knowledge Schaft … making It is in this context that the EU uses the word SCIENCE, speaks to knowledge and learning in general, in all spheres, arts, humanities and social sciences … All of us in education are knowledge making and meaning making as public servants, and as public intellectuals, in the knowledge society - Open Science in this example means democratisation of access to publicly funded research.

  6. False binary - Arts Vs Science is a false dichotomy “ What we need now is a paradigmatic shift in thinking … “ ERA Briefing, EU Commission This requires a cultural shift across the whole HE sector … A new understanding at this cusp moment of technological advance Work of many dimensions, activities beyond PDF must be accessible

  7. Advocate for Education as a Public Good Making knowledge, and the work of knowledge and meaning makers, visible is a fundamental part of our collective work, a responsibility Our work is EXCELLENT Our work is an integral contribution to Irish citizens, to Irish SOCIETY ACCESS - critical problem for Arts, Culture and Humanities work VISIBLE - yet more citation in national news today, but where are the artists? Where are the makers?

  8. Let’s showcase Expert Work - Expert Knowledges • Public - transparent and accountable • Engaged • Enriched - deep metadata • Participatory - invites use and collaboration • Open • FAIR - Findable Accessible Interoperable Reusable • Sustainable - not just for the moment - long term preservation, for the public good • Reduced risks repetition and redundancy, duplication of effort

  9. Andreas Schleicher - Head of OECD Ed. Directorate

  10. How are we going to respond to EU Commission? ACERR meets all FAIR compliance criteria A Repository with a Trusted Seal | Research Data Alliance • Heterogenous, multidimensional data - beyond the PDF • Trusted repository • Preservation • Citation and impact metrics

  11. Digisation, Digitalisation & Digital Transformation • Digitisation is the process of converting information from a physical format into a digital one. Making a Digital Image (Jpg or 3D scan). Making a recording of a song (Mpeg). • When this process is leveraged to improve processes, it is called digitalisation. Publication in a trusted repository under FAIR conditions. • The results of this process are called digital transformation. That is what the ACERR repository delivers for the first time for Ireland.

  12. ACERR The Arts and Culture in Education Research Repository (ACERR) is an association of institutions committed to upholding the principles of the Arts in Education Charter, promoting Arts Education, Cultural Education and Arts in Education Research.

  13. DRI - Digital Repository of Ireland National platform Empowering Irish Researchers to publish work of many dimensions (heterogenous datasets - not a4) Overcoming traditional barriers to publication for Arts practitioners & Exclusion from metrics that have exclusion built in!

  14. Addresses persistent issues: • Defined criteria for 'measurement' of success in the sector on 'constructed' models of value (see alsoSFDora.org) • Citation • Impact • Key Performance Indicators • RDMP necessary for advanced IRC funding proposals • FAIR compliance necessary for all Horizon and FP9 applications • Visibility - augmenting and sustaining institutional repositories • Federating nationally for international aggregation / service …

  15. Context … Ministers also recognised that technological and societal developments are transforming research towards paradigms of open science. They stressed the importance of incentivising and rewarding Open Science activities and providing global research infrastructures which would allow for an optimal re-use of data on the condition that we can make this data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable). September 2017, G7, Italy

  16. EU Open Science Rationale Embark on and strengthen 'translational research' to bridge the gap between research communities and the real world outside of the academy to kick-start an epistemic paradigm change… ERA, H2020 policy briefing

  17. And in doing so CREATE: quicker and effective solutions to complex grand challenges and analyses of complex systems that call for crossing departmental boundaries and inter-disciplinarity to generate new knowledge of transformative power; explore and exploit new types of problem-driven and user-oriented R&D research programs that go way beyond well-established modes of targeted, incentivised R&D (top down) Open Innovation, Innovation 2.0; Stimulate disruptive innovations to accelerate value creation; Scale up the serendipity effect; ERA, H2020 policy briefing

  18. Reasons for research repositories “Historically, policymakers have been condemned for shooting in the dark and acting from their own anecdotal biases maybe,” says Prof James Williams, Growing Up in Ireland’s principal investigator from the outset until his retirement from the ESRI last July. On his retirement he spoke about BUILDING THE EVIDENCE BASE …

  19. Web - MADE to communicate knowledge

  20. Digital dialectic looms … “we are torn between ‘the repressive constraints of ‘legacy’ and the techo-fetishistic demand for ‘progress’” Marcel O’Gorman E-CRIT

  21. As public intellectuals, as public servants ... ...we ‘force open the objects of the new culture and we interrogate them – they are not special, sacred or untouchable, nothing is...’ O’Gorman E-Crit: Digital Media, Critical Theory and the Humanities

  22. Creativity “Emotional intelligence and creativity will set us apart from super-smart machines,” futurist Gerd Leonhard (CISCO, 2018).

  23. DISCOVERY The ability to “discover cutting edge research and contribute to a new ecosystem of learning” empowers us to overcome “unprecedented social, economic and environmental challenges” (OECD, 2018)

  24. Research-informed policy Acknowledges intrinsic disciplinary knowledge Enables a catalysing open innovation effect through creativity for individuals, for communities, and society. Creating new value (OECD, 2018)

  25. Creativity is a national resource - let’s liberate it Through research … understanding how cognitively, the ways of thinking and being creative that arts practice delivers is crucial for the knowledge society, for Ireland’s success: To research creative innovation To impart open creative innovation To create new value
