By Anonymous -
The SmartSimple team was honored to be a sponsor and presenter at the ORCiD-CASRAI Joint Conference that took place May 18th and 19th at the University of Barcelona in the beautiful city of Barcelona, Spain.
SmartSimple was a proud sponsor of this event
In the past, each held their own, large scale annual event, and this was the first year that ORCiD (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) and CASRAI (Consortia Advancing Standards in Research Administration Information) have jointly hosted an event, bringing their respective communities together to explore the latest issues and innovations in research information, academic communication and standards for working together in research administration.

This year’s conference theme was Research Evaluation, with an emphasis on emerging practice in the Humanities and Social Sciences and included a mix of presentations and discussion sessions by industry experts from around the world. Session topics included “Beyond Authorship: Recognising all research contributions.", “Gaps and assumptions in our research assessment approach.”, and “Capturing information from diverse sources”.

SmartSimple’s Director of Strategic Initiatives and Product Marketing, David Resnick, and Director of Operations for EU , Brian Fallon  hosted two sessions during the conference; Integrating ORCID: A Research Funders Perspective“ and “Linking Outputs to Investigators, Organizations and Projects.”

“We were happy to have the opportunity to present and share the lessons learned by SmartSimple in collaborating with organizations like ORCiD,” says David. “The European market is so exciting, and we’re eager to learn and share. We’ve had such great success with funders like Science Foundation Ireland that we are excited to work with more organizations that do such important work.”
