Registration is open for the
OAI7 Workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication

Dear colleagues,

Registration for OAI7, the 7th Workshop on Innovations in 
Scholarly Communication is open. This event will be held in 
Geneva, Switzerland, from Wednesday 22nd to Friday 24th June 
2011. Please register with the online form you can find on the 
website of the conference along with the full programme : 
http://indico.cern.ch/event/oai7.

The workshop will follow the successful format of previous 
editions mixing practical tutorials, presentations from 
cutting-edge projects and research, discussion groups, posters, 
and an intense social programme to maximise interaction and 
communication. It will be possible to register for a part or all 
of the programme.

The workshop is aimed at those involved in the development of 
open access (OA) repositories and who can influence the direction 
of developments either within their institution, their country or 
at an international level - that includes technical developers of 
OA bibliographic databases and connected services, research 
information policy developers at university or library level, 
funding bodies concerned with access to the results of their 
research, OA publishers, and influential researchers keen to lead 
OA developments in their own field.

Previous workshops have built a strong community spirit and 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 series of most important international meetings in 
this field and take place roughly every two years.

Further information will be added to the website, including 
details on a pre-conference day and the call for posters.

The committee looks forward to welcoming you to Geneva.
