In early June, the AAF launched the Coffee Break Series, a series of live webinars exploring different areas of the business. The Coffee Break Series is designed to be short enough to watch while you enjoy a hot drink and take a quick break from work. Each session will focus on different functions and departments in the organisation, chatting to different staff members with the occasional special guest. At the end of the short session, there will be an opportunity to ask any questions pertaining to the session.
Part 1: ORCID
The first installment focuses on ORCID. The webinar features Melroy Almeida (AAF) and Brian Minihan (ORCID) discussing how ORCID members can make the most of their membership. After a short presentation, Melroy and Brian answer questions in a live Q&A session.
If you miss the session, you can always catch up and watch it over on our YouTube channel.
