A Taste of Past Pure Conferences

And for those of you who want a feel of what you can expect at the conference, here is a quick overview of PRCN2023 in Dubrovnik and a link to a short video opens in new tab/window of the event.   

In 2023, we gathered in the beautiful, fortified wall city of Dubrovnik, Croatia. From the shores of the Adriatic Sea, we welcomed 200 delegates from over 91 institutions, covering 26 countries, to the Hotel Dubrovnik Palace. The agenda was robust and included a keynote from the European University Association on the Reform of Research Assessment, 3 concurrent programming tracks, with over 50 presentations and the World Cafe networking session. Event themes focused on data interoperability, grant management and funding workflows, research impact and outcomes, research portals and communities, reporting and compliance use cases, supporting principles of open science, cloud hosting and security, knowledge exchange, partnership, and innovation and many, many presentations on use cases in the application of Pure.

The full agenda from 2023 can be reviewed here opens in new tab/window. In addition, the session recordings from PRCN2023 are also available here opens in new tab/window.
