Do we want local? International (aka Carpentries)? What aspect do we want them to talk about?

Do we want local? International (aka Carpentries)? What aspect do we want them to talk about?

@dvanic , I think having an international and a local speaker would be good. Linking in with one or more of the themes we've identified makes sense:

Skills Providers

• Resilient and sustainable trainer communities: people, resources, governance
• Training outcomes: assessment frameworks for trainers/training providers
• Learning pathways, credentialing and evolving qualification/accreditation systems

Designing, implementing and delivering training

• Partnerships and collaborations in co-design and co-delivery of training
• Innovative teaching and best practice: in person, online, hybrid
• Transformative skills: translating skills training to practice (learner stories) Not sure where this one fits - if at all?

Specialist Skills and Training

• Breakthrough technology updates - emerging data-intensive research methodologies and technologies
• Digital research skills – getting started with in five minutes [lightning talks]
• Hacky hour - Ask me anything on skill "X" [panel sessions]

I thought we could ask Lou Woodley (Center Director of Center for Scientific Collaboration and Community Engagement (CSCCE) - her focus would be community building rather than skills training.

We had Karen Word from the Carpentries last year, but given the Carpentries Consortium is a big deal this year, might be good to have a Carpentries keynote again.

For Carpentries, we could try Toby Hodges, their new curriculum development lead, in that case?
