A new annual initiative that may be of interest to many on this list. Please feel free to pass this on to other lists and also consider either attending or proposing workshops.
Although there is an injunction delaying the enforcement of recent U.executive order regarding immigration to the U.S., the organisers of FSCI recognise that many potential attendees and instructors may have concerns about access and safety in this and future years. The Force 11 executive has issued twohttps://www.force11.org/article/force11-statement-restrictions-immigration statementshttps://www.force11.org/blog/force11-executive-board-statement-restrictions-immigration on the recent immigration ban and is working actively to improve its ability to respond to and support the needs of people affected by these and other restrictions.
Force 11 also has a long and successful track record of funding student attendees and attendees from mid and low income economies to its events. It has several grant applications under consideration to support future attendance and hopes to be able to continue this support in this and future years.

FSCI@UCSDhttp://force11.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e2d2ee75f2d3afd1d39a666d&id=53d51c4069&e=2e694a8dc5 is a week-long program that offers participants training, networking and skills development in new modes of research communication.
The UC San Diego Library is hosting the event that will take place at the Institute of the Americas on the UC San Diego Campus.
“The research community lacks a forum for coordinated access to training, skills development, and expert knowledge on new modes of research communication,” says Cameron Neylon, President of Force 11, “even as funders are mandating change and the wider world has embraced new forms of communication.”
Based on proven models in other disciplines, FSCI@UCSD will bring world-leading experts in different aspects of scholarly communication to San Diego to design and deliver courses that will help participants to navigate this new world. Courses will be established for all levels, from absolute beginners to experts. They will also be aimed at different audiences, including students, researchers, administrators, funders, and information professionals, including librarians and publishers.
Typical topics to be covered at the annual event will include:
Introductory Level
* Open Access, Open Source, Open Data, What Does this All Mean? * Building a Digital Presence: Social Media, Repositories, and the Researcher * Research Communications 101: Tools for Improving Scholarly Communication * Data and Other Forms of Non-narrative Publication * Understanding Research Metrics * Open Peer Review: How to give and Receive Criticism
Advanced
* Copyright, Open Access and Open Data * New Metrics and How to Use Them to Build a Research Portfolio * Introduction to Open Data Management * Implications of OA on Research Publications * Making it Work: Knowledge Mobilization, Knowledge Translation, and Popularization
Specialised/Topic Focussed
* Implementing Successful Open Access, and Open Data Mandates * Supporting the Research Lifecycle for Researchers and Administrators * Evaluating New Forms of Research Publication * Implications of OA on Publication and Collection Building * Data Ownership and Copyright Issues * Data-informed Strategy for Institutional Leaders * Maximizing Impact Across Disciplines * Increasing Transparency and Reproducibility in Research Communications
“Scholarly Communication is in a disruptive phase at the moment. Students know the rules that governed their supervisors’ early careers are changing” said Maryann Martone, past president of Force 11 and UCSD professor emerita. “Libraries know the current publishing and data repository system is unsustainable; researchers know the systems within which they have worked are changing rapidly,” adds Brian Schottlaender, UCSD’s Audrey Geisel University Librarian. “Administrators know government, industry, funders, and the general public are expecting research to be performed, communicated, and measured in new ways. But knowing that things are changing is not the same as understanding what those changes are or how individuals and institutions can navigate them. This is what FSCI@UCSD will provide.”

Comment on Location
Given the uncertainty regarding travel to the US and the recent FORCE11 Statementhttp://force11.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e2d2ee75f2d3afd1d39a666d&id=8e529dd838&e=2e694a8dc5 on travel restrictions, there may be questions regarding the location of the Institute in San Diego. The Institute has been in planning with UCSD for some time and UCSD has committed to providing long-term and substantial financial, administrative, and intellectual support. This support allows us to focus our fundraising on supporting travel for those who who would otherwise be unable to attend, which has been a feature of our work in planning FORCE11 meetings for some years. While the current situation makes this harder, we elected to move forward with the planned location. We remain committed to working to mitigate the effects of restrictions to travel across the full set of FORCE11 events.
