Are you thinking about submitting a session proposal for Research Support Community Day 2020?

While we don’t have a specific theme for 2020, you can take a look at our past programs to get a feel for the range of topics that are often covered.

Still not sure? Here are a few topics we’re interested in at the moment:

• FAIR and Open Access
• Systematic reviews
• Research data management
• Engagement and impact
• Challenges faced by researchers
• Research reproducibility

We’re looking forward to hearing from you! To express your interest in presenting a session, please complete the online form by Friday 1 November.

Research Support Community Day 2020 is taking place on Monday 10 February at Deakin University in Melbourne (Deakin Downtown)! This is the same week as the VALA 2020 conference.

The RSC Day committee is now inviting submissions for the following types of sessions:

• 5-minute lightning talks
• 10-minute short talks
• 20-minute talks
• NEW! 30-minute special interest group meetings: A dedicated timeslot for special interest groups to meet and discuss topics. Your role is to lead the discussion for your proposed interest group.
• NEW! 4-minute video virtual lightning talks: Your video lightning talk will be played during the lightning talk section of the program. You do not need to attend the RSC Day in person to propose a video virtual lightning talk.

To express your interest in presenting a session, please complete the online form by Friday 1 November. The committee will strive to accommodate as many submissions as possible, with a balance of different topics. However, as time is limited on the day, we may not be able to accept every proposed session for the 2020 program. We’ll contact you about your submission by Monday 11 November.

Registration for RSC Day will open on Monday 18 November.
