Do you have a long-term home for your research data? Somewhere it can be persistently accessed so that other researchers can replicate your research or to comply with journal or funder requirements? There are many options out there, but we're here to help you narrow it down. This short workshop runs through MIT Libraries' recommendations for data repositories, as well as some of the main characteristics to consider as you decide where your data should be made available. This short workshop will be over Zoom and the link will be emailed to participants.

Presented by the Emerson/Harris Program for Private Study Solo Recital SeriesProgramTBDLivestream: https://mta.mit.edu/viewlisten/live-killian-hallAbout the PerformersCharlotte Wickert is a PhD student at MIT in the Nuclear Science and Engineering Department, where she conducts research in the Computational Reactor Physics Group (CPRG). She currently studies flute with Sue-Ellen Hershman-Tcherepnin through the MIT Emerson Scholars program. Music has been a large part of Charlotte's life, first through piano and later flute. She has performed in school and extracurricular ensembles throughout middle and high school, including the Las Vegas Regional Honor Band, Nevada All-State Band, Las Vegas Youth Orchestra, and John Philip Sousa National Honor Band. While at MIT, she played flute in the MIT Symphony Orchestra, MIT Wind Ensemble, and MIT Afro-Latin Ensemble and sang in the Vocal Jazz Ensemble.About the Emerson/Harris Program for Private StudySupport for private musical study is available for students through the Emerson/Harris Program (E/HP), which offers merit-based financial awards for outstanding achievement on instruments or voice in classical, jazz, or world music. Each academic year, the program awards Scholarships and Fellowships to nearly seventy students who commit to a full year’s study and participate in the musical life of MIT.Auditions for the program are held at the beginning of each academic year. Private teacher selections, made in consultation with the E/HP jury heads, may include instructors from MIT staff and throughout Greater Boston. The Emerson/Harris Program is funded by the late Mr. Cherry L. Emerson, Jr. (SM, 1941), in response to an appeal from AssociateProvost Ellen T. Harris (Class of 1949 Professor Emeritus of Music). The Emerson/Harris Masterclass Series is supported, in part, by the Robert L. Malster (1956) Fund.This project is presented as part of Artfinity, an Institute-sponsored event celebrating creativity and community at MIT. Artfinity is organized by the Office of the Arts.
