Featured Highlights
eSciDoc Days 2010, November 16-17, Copenhagen (Denmark)
FIZ Karlsruhe and Max Planck Digital Library cordially invite you to participate in the eSciDoc Days 2010 to be held on Tuesday, November 16, and Wednesday, November 17, hosted by the The Royal Library in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The eSciDoc Days are targeted at both existing eSciDoc users and people interested in eResearch environments, publication infrastructure, research data management and scholarly collaboration.
The two day conference will provide extensive information about eSciDoc, the open source eResearch environment. Keynote speakers will give an overview of the current eResearch developments. Presentations held by eSciDoc team members and eSciDoc users will demonstrate the existing eSciDoc applications and the underlying eSciDoc infrastructure and its future directions.
In parallel tracks, we offer a whole day of hands-on tutorials for eSciDoc newcomers as well as experienced developers who are interested in creating their own applications based on the eSciDoc infrastructure or intend to re-purpose their existing eSciDoc applications.
Program and speakers will be announced soon.
More information about eSciDoc in general as well as the program and the presentations of last year's eSciDoc Days are available at www.escidoc.org.
