How to make the best use of our existing resources in scientific practice?

The documentary "Archive of the Future" , opens an external URL in a new windowoffers an entertaining and informative behind-the-scenes look at the Natural History Museum in Vienna. There, with meticulous energy, collection, research, archiving, and reflection take place - more than 30 million objects have been gathered here over the centuries, to be questioned anew time and again. This cinematic homage to a microcosm of institutional research encourages reflection on scientific practice in general - especially at a time when new technologies enable us to climb anew the "shoulders of giants" highlighted not least by Isaac Newton (as a metaphor for the accumulated knowledge of our ancestors). What can we learn from the past for the future? And, crucially, how can we manage the existing knowledge repositories to ensure they contribute effectively to reshaping our practices toward socio-ecological transformation? Following the film, scientists from the fields of architecture and research data management will discuss these questions with director Joerg Burger.

Guests:

• Joerg Burger, Regisseur
• Barbara Sanchez Solis, Head of Center for Research Data Management
• Bernadette Krejs, Faculty of Architecture and Planning

Moderation: Simon Güntner, Head of Research Unit of Sociology

The discussion will be conducted in German. However, participants are invited to ask questions in English as well.

The film is provided with English subtitles.
