The theme for this year’s Scholarly Communication Institute (SCI) will
be Equity in Scholarly Communications. Proposals are now being
accepted for the event, which will be held October 13-17, 2019, in
Chapel Hill, NC. We are pleased to share the details below with the
CNI community.

-------------------------------------
The Triangle Scholarly Communication Institute
https://trianglesci.org/ invites you to participate in SCI 2019 in
October.

Each year, about 30 people are selected to participate based on
successful responses to a request for proposals, and the Institute
covers all of their expenses to attend a 4-day program in Chapel Hill,
North Carolina, funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation. At TriangleSCI, proposals are from teams rather than
individuals, and we typically invite 5 teams with 4 to 6 participants
each. We ask you to put together a working group that includes people
who you may not otherwise have the opportunity to interact with, and
to use this as an opportunity to launch new collaborations and
projects. We especially encourage you to build a team with
participants from a variety of backgrounds, disciplines, professions,
and a broad diversity of perspectives.

This year’s theme is Equity in Scholarly Communications
https://trianglesci.org/2019-institute/equity-in-scholarly-communications/.

The Institute is a program that’s part retreat, part seminar, and part
unconference. Based on a theme that changes every year, participants
set their own agenda and define their own deliverables - the Institute
brings everybody together and supplies the environment and a network
of peers to help stimulate and develop creative thinking, and provide
a diversity of perspectives aimed at promoting positive change in
research methods, publishing, digital humanities, digital archives,
and other topics related to transformations in scholarly
communication.
