Participate in our 3rd Springer Nature Hack Day focusing on ANALYTICS AND METRICS TO MEASURE THE IMPACT OF SCIENCE

We at Springer Nature fancy Open Data. Every day, we curate our freely available data sets and encourage others to work with them. But what really gets us excited: Thinking outside the box!
We invite you to save the date and participate in our next Springer Nature Hack Day. Participation is free of charge, of course!

Event details in a nutshell:

• Date: 26 - 27 April 2018, 1.5 days
• Time: Day 1: 3 pm - 7 pm, followed by social event | Day 2: 9 am - 5 pm

What's the main theme?

It's all about Analytics and metrics to measure the impact of science! We encourage you to bring and work on your own ideas or join forces with other teams. Example themes are:

• What's hot and what's not in science? Using metrics to create trend or gap analysis.
• Measure the impact of science: Create new or calculate alternative metrics (for example to challenge the Journals Impact Factor).
• Explore how analytics and metrics can help with solving Grand Challenges such as Climate Change, Sustainability or Global Health.

Who can participate?

Are you a data evangelist, innovative thinker, data explorer, creative developer or UX champion? Then welcome to our hack day! Being a programmer or developer is not a must. The only condition we have for you is: Be up for a new challenge and feel like developing cool new tools with us.

What's in for you?

Meet and connect with other developers from the Open Data Community. Get to know our Springer Nature staff and work together on cool new tools and solutions. In other words: Prepare yourself for 1.5 days full of new insights, fruitful collaboration and fun, of course!

Register now to reserve a place in our next Hack Day. It’s first come, first serve.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Berlin soon!
