Agenda

4.30pm Welcome coffee

5.00pm Electronic Laboratory Notebooks and the Management of Modern
Scientific Research and Development - an Industry Perspective
John Trigg, Managing Director, phaseFour Informatics, UK

John Trigg has over 20 years’ experience of working in the field of R&D
data, information and knowledge management including 10 years experience of
the world’s first enterprise level implementation of an Electronic Lab
Notebook at Kodak. He will provide an overview of the critical emerging
role of ELNs in modern industry research.

5.30pm Electronic Laboratory Notebooks as Engines of Knowledge for Research
and Development - a Knowledge Management Perspective
Dr. Barry Hardy, Founder of the InnovationWell and eCheminfo Communities of
Practice
and Director, Knowledge Management Institute, Switzerland

Barry Hardy will provide an overview of the critical knowledge management
strategies and methodologies for enabling productivity and successful
outcomes in collaborative-based R&D. He will discuss knowledge assessment
approaches aimed at the continuous improvement of the innovation and
performance of the R&D organisation and its support ELN systems.

6.00pm ELN Framework Requirements to Support Collaborative
Multidisciplinary R&D – A Solutions Perspective
Dr. Jeff Spitzner, President & Chief Science Officer, Rescentris; Ohio, USA

Jeff Spitzner is a leading expert in bioinformatics, knowledge management,
and electronic laboratory notebook systems. In 1997 he co-authored the BSML
data standard for bioinformatics, the pioneering XML technology in the life
sciences; today he provides the vision and guides the development of
Rescentris’ products. He will discuss the design and implementation of
collaboration frameworks for the management of scientific research, and the
role of semantic web technologies in record-keeping solutions that support
the integrated R&D organization.

6.30pm Panel Discussion with Audience

The speakers and audience will discuss Electronic Laboratory Notebooks and
their role in managing and supporting R&D in today’s complex
multidisciplinary scientific environment.

7.00pm Reception

Drinks, Snacks, Software Demos … and more discussions! Followed by dinner
out for those interested.

This event takes place alongside the following workshop activities running
in Oxford that week:

Innovation & Knowledge Management in Research & Product Development
a 3 day Interactive Management Workshop, 5-7 July 2006
Chemistry Research Laboratory, Oxford University, Oxford, UK
led by leading industry experts and practitioners including Victor Newman,
Paul Lefrere,
David Gurteen, David Snowden, Jeff Spitzner, John Trigg, Iain Bitran and

These workshops are aimed to bring leading best practice and issue
discussion to industry researchers and managers striving to use the latest
innovation and knowledge management techniques and tools to maximise
productivity and return in investment from R&D activities. Workshop groups
will work through and discuss complex issues highlighted by detailed case
studies presented by instructors. The following topics will be discussed:

Strategic Knowledge Management in R&D
Intellectual Property, Licensing & Valuation
Effective Deployment Strategies for Electronic Laboratory Notebooks
Knowledge Assessment & Auditing
Ontologies & Knowledge Discovery
Integrating Innovation Management & Research Activities
Communication & Collaboration between Research Teams & Partners
Organisational Development & Culture in R&D
Decision Support for Research Project & Portfolio Management
Integration of Tools & Data in R&D
Complex Systems Approaches to Product Development

Latest Advances in Drug Discovery Design & Planning Methods
a Hands-on 5 Day eCheminfo Advanced Training Workshop Week
3-7 July 2006, Oxford University, Oxford, UK

These workshops are aimed to provide a set of stimulating workshops using
latest advanced modelling techniques of relevance to chemists, life
scientists and modellers working in drug discovery. Participants should
return to their labs with new ideas, best practices and software
experiences to maximise productivity in their own drug discovery research
activities.
