Collaboration to Improve Scholarship - The Scholarly Kitchen

"Pierre tackled the topic of Scholarly Communication in the Context of Open Science: The Need for Infrastructures. Starting and ending with arresting images of the construction of the Eiffel Tower as his metaphor, he provided a brief history of the digital research infrastructure (fun fact: the first reference he found to it was in a 2003 NSF report: Revolutionizing Science and Engineering Through Cyberinfrastructure). He highlighted the need for an open infrastructure – one that supports the social sciences and humanities (SSH), as well as STEM subjects."
