DESCRIPTION:Gaétan de Rassenfosse\; Alexis Berne\; Róbert Fónod\nJoin
  the next Lunch Talks session\, "From Data to Impact: Showcasing Open Rese
 arch Datasets"\, on October 6th\, from 12:15 to 13:45\, in CM 1 2.\n\nLang
 uage: English\nDoors open from 12:05\nFree lunch bag for registered partic
 ipants. Water not included: please bring your reusable bottle to help redu
 ce environmental impact.\n \nPROGRAM \n \n\n	Welcome and introduction\
 n\nBy Dr. Chiara Gabella – Head of team\, Research data management\, Ac
 ademic and research support at EPFL Library.\n\n \n\n	Talk 1 | Beyond th
 e Dataset: Turning One Project into an Open Research Ecosystem\n\nBy Dr. R
 óbert Fónod – Machine Learning and Computer Vision Engineer at senseF
 ly (an EPFL spin-off\, now EagleNXT) in Lausanne. Formerly Research Associ
 ate at EPFL's Urban Transportation Systems Laboratory (LUTS) and an EPFL D
 ata Champion.\n\n"In October 2022\, a fleet of ten drones spent four days 
 filming traffic across the smart city of Songdo\, South Korea\, producing 
 terabytes of 4K aerial video. This talk follows what happened next: how th
 at raw footage became a connected set of openly available research outputs
 . The project released two datasets (vehicle trajectories and annotated ae
 rial imagery)\, three reusable software tools\, a ready-to-use machine lea
 rning model\, an interactive online demo\, and a peer-reviewed open access
  paper tying everything together\, each one cross-linked\, citable\, and a
 rchived for the long term. Using this as a worked example\, I will share p
 ractical lessons on making research outputs findable\, reusable\, properly
  licensed\, and cited\, including a few surprises about which parts the co
 mmunity valued most."\n\n \n\n	Talk 2 | DISDRODB: a decentralized data b
 ase of drop size distribution observations\, and much more\n\nBy Prof. Ale
 xis Berne – Associate Professor\, Head of Environmental Remote Sensing L
 aboratory\, EPFL ENAC\n\n"The raindrop size distribution is a crucial info
 rmation for atmospheric sciences\, remote sensing and communications. Its 
 current observations (from disdrometers) are rather spread between countri
 es and institutions with heterogeneous variables and formats\, hampering e
 asy and broad access to public analysis-ready data sets. DISDRODB is an in
 frastructure (with associated softwares) aiming to provide a unified frame
 work for the systematic sharing\, standardization\, and processing of disd
 rometer data. I will introduce DISDRODB and discuss the challenges to deve
 lop such tools."\n\n \n\n	Talk 3 | Open data for better science policy\n
 \nBy Prof. Gaétan de Rassenfosse – Associate Professor\, Science\, Tech
 nology and Innovation Policy Laboratory\, EPFL CDM\n\n"This talk will pres
 ent several Science\,Technology and Innovation Policy Laboratory initiativ
 es aimed at producing open datasets to support more evidence-based policym
 aking in science and innovation."\n\n \n\n	Panel for Q&A\, open discussio
 n\n\nModeration by Dr. Francesco Varrato – Research data management spe
 cialist\, Academic and research support at EPFL Library.
