VIVO in Denmark Last week I had the great pleasure of being a guest of the Danish Technical University (a VIVO member) at the advisory board meeting of their ROI-AV project. They have done wonderful work on visualization, leading to their Opera project. The next day, DTU held a delightful workshop. I gave a talk which you can find here: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.7159724.v2. The following day I gave an invited talk at the AESIS conference "The Impact Agenda for Social Sciences and the Humanities: http://aesisnet.com/event/impact-ssh18/. My talk was titled "Impact, the Disciplines, and VIVO". You can find it here: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.7159856.v1
The Danish Technical University is doing amazing work with VIVO in the area of research intelligence. They have a very strong team, and I look forward to having them participate in the future of VIVO, and to see what they are up to in the future.
Also in Denmark is Aalborg University, with another very strong team doing strong VIVO work. Led by David Budtz Pedersen, the Aalborg team expects to have a production VIVO site next spring. They have done significant work in the humanities and in research assessment and impact. I had a chance to spend some time meeting the members of their team. They are a strong addition to the VIVO community.
