video mashups

The inspiration comes from ARTE: https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/RC-015330/propaganda/ (french) https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/RC-015330/moneypulation/ (german), and I talk about the format, not the content :) The idea is to create mashup videos, i.e. videos where the images are unrelated to the content but bring humor or a different perspective to what the voice off is saying. There is a lot of free to reuse videos available to do it. The strategy to make some is to first write a script for the voice off and then look for the videos.

Here are extracts from the blog. Open Practices and Policies for Research Data in the Marine Community, from Alessandro Sarretta https://creativecommons.org/2016/12/01/open-practices-policies-research-data-marine-community/ As a researcher in the field(s) of Coastal and Marine Environment and Geospatial Information, I’m constantly dealing with data.

My goal as an IOL fellow is to inform relevant marine communities of the benefits of an open research data policy and, more specifically, to apply these principles to the practices within my institute—the Institute of Marine Sciences (ISMAR), part of the Italian National Research Council.

Open data is coming

Open data is coming, here are some data to backup this claim: Carlos Moedas – Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation - said on 22 June 2015: This will mean setting standards for the management, interoperability and quality of scientific data. I would like to see progress on this in next 12 months. And I will want to see what further support or requirements for open data should be introduced in Horizon 2020 following the mid term review.

Prof. Tuuli Toivonen on 5 June 2017, University of Helsinki https://openscholarchampions.eu/opendata/champion/changeresearchcultureforopendatadefault/ It was frustrating to know that valuable data had been collected but there was no access to that. The frustration was particularly intense if the data was collected by publicly-funded institutions that did not have the resources to really analyse the data. Then, we argued, that publicly-produced data should be mobilised for research. Or even better, we argued, it should be available for everyone without restrictions, to reduce the administrative workload and to reduce the barriers for collaboration and innovation between scientists, companies and active citizens.
