In 2023, we gathered in the beautiful, fortified wall city of Dubrovnik, Croatia.

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.
