Summary:

"Shake It Up is a one-day workshop on the changing state of the research ecosystem. The event is jointly sponsored by Digital Science, MIT, Harvard and Microsoft. Powerful forces shape how research is done; funding mechanisms, government mandates, academic administration and technology (hardware and software) represent key spokes that support the revolutions of research cycles. New players in the form of start-ups, grassroots organizations and visionaries are shaking up how research is done. How do these initiatives launch, grow and scale? The flora and fauna of the research ecosystem include scholars, libraries, universities, funders, governments and companies: how are the rules of interaction changing? What new dynamics and partnerships are emerging? Where are the opportunities for breakthroughs? In this workshop, we invite participants to share success stories and challenges of innovating in the research space. We aim to spark new connections and insights by investigating aspects of the research lifecycle through the multiple lenses of different players operating within the research ecosystem."
