Program details and registration are now available at<BR><A href="https://indico.cern.ch/event/oai8.">https://indico.cern.ch/event/oai8.</A> It will be possible to register for<BR>a part or all of the programme.<BR><BR>The workshop will follow the successful format of previous sessions<BR>mixing practical tutorials, presentations from cutting-edge projects<BR>and research, discussion groups, posters, and an intense social<BR>programme to maximise interaction and communication. Previous<BR>workshops have built a strong community spirit. The event is a unique<BR>opportunity to exchange ideas and contact details with a large public<BR>connected to the OA movement. The OAI workshops are a series of the<BR>most important international meetings in this field and take place<BR>roughly every two years.<BR><BR>Each iteration of the workshop series has dealt with issues relevant<BR>to today. This year, research data will be one of the topics tackled.<BR>In the light of the Royal Society Report "Science as an Open<BR>Enterprise", European universities are beginning themselves to<BR>consider the impact of the data deluge. The workshop will also revisit<BR>the topic of metrics and suggest new approaches.<BR><BR>Thanks to the continued support of our sponsors, the organisers have<BR>been able to maintain the modest registration fee at the same level as<BR>for the previous workshop, i.e. CHF 275. Moreover, a special early<BR>bird fee of CHF 230 is offered until Wednesday 27th of March.<BR><BR>Further information will be added to the website<BR><A href="https://indico.cern.ch/event/oai8,">https://indico.cern.ch/event/oai8,</A> including details of the Breakout<BR>Groups, of a pre-conference day about Duraspace, and the Call for<BR>posters.<BR><BR>The committee looks forward to welcoming you to Geneva.<BR><BR>OAI8 Organising Committee<BR></DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
