Guten Morgen, Leiden! #PIDfest ist offiziell eröffnet. Wir starten um 10:00 Uhr mit der Begrüßung, gefolgt von der Eröffnungskeynote von Felienne Hermans, „Who is making the digital world, and how?“ – ein Blick auf die Menschen und Werte hinter der Software, die wir alle täglich nutzen.

Danach geht’s in die Sessions im Naturalis und am LUMC: graue Literatur, RAiD, nationale PID-Strategien, Software-Identifikatoren und vieles mehr. Zum Abschluss gibt es die One Minute Poster Madness und den Begrüßungsempfang.

صباح الخير يا لايدن! انطلق #PIDfest رسميًا. نبدأ الساعة 10:00 بكلمة ترحيبية، تتبعها المحاضرة الافتتاحية لفيلين هيرمانز بعنوان “Who is making the digital world, and how?”، وهي نظرة على الأشخاص والقيم التي تقف وراء البرمجيات التي نستخدمها جميعًا كل يوم.

بعد ذلك ننتقل إلى الجلسات في ناتوراليس وLUMC: الأدب الرمادي، وRAiD، والاستراتيجيات الوطنية للمعرّفات الدائمة، ومعرّفات البرمجيات، والمزيد.

ونختتم اليوم بـOne Minute Poster Madness ثم حفل الاستقبال. هذه مشاركتك الأولى في PIDfest؟ اسأل عن أي شيء، فكلنا كنا جددًا ذات يوم. لا تتردد في مشاركة انطباعاتك وأفكارك حول #PIDfest هنا.
