Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

Communication (OAI8)" aufmerksam machen. 

Diese E-Mail geht an mehrere Listen. Mehrfachempfang bitte ich zu 
entschuldigen. Viele Grüße

***********

Dear colleagues,

OAI8, the 8th Workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication will be held 
in Geneva, Switzerland, from Wednesday 19th to Friday 21st June 2013. Program 
details and registration are now available at 
https://indico.cern.ch/event/oai8. It will be possible to register for a part 
or all of the programme.

The workshop will follow the successful format of previous sessions mixing 
practical tutorials, presentations from cutting-edge projects and research, 
discussion groups, posters, and an intense social programme to maximise 
interaction and communication. Previous workshops have built a strong community 
spirit. The event is a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and contact details 
with a large public connected to the OA movement. The OAI workshops are a 
series of the most important international meetings in this field and take 
place roughly every two years.

Each iteration of the workshop series has dealt with issues relevant to today. 
This year, research data will be one of the topics tackled. In the light of the 
Royal Society Report "Science as an Open Enterprise", European universities are 
beginning themselves to consider the impact of the data deluge. The workshop 
will also revisit the topic of metrics and suggest new approaches.
Thanks to the continued support of our sponsors, the organisers have been able 
to maintain the modest registration fee at the same level as for the previous 
workshop, i.e. CHF 275. Moreover, a special early bird fee of CHF 230 is 
offered until Wednesday 27th of March.

Further information will be added to the website 
https://indico.cern.ch/event/oai8, including details of the Breakout Groups, of 
a pre-conference day about Duraspace, and the Call for posters.

The committee looks forward to welcoming you to Geneva.
