Hi, this is likely coming to you via several listserv postings; apologies for duplication.
The FORCE2019 meeting, taking place in Edinburgh this October 15-17, has announced their first two keynote speakers:
They’ll address themes in infrastructure and promoting open research
If you’ve never been to FORCE before, it’s a unique and collaborative meeting. It brings together multiple communities to discuss improving the ways scholarly and scientific information is communicated, shared and used.
"I can't think of a better conference for meeting smart people focused on designing and building the future of scholarly infrastructure – that's why FORCE is so special." – Arfon Smith
Some links here for extra info:
The full program will be announced later in the year with themes including: who are the trailblazers; promoting open research; infrastructure for research comms; and what skills do we need for transforming the scholarly community.
Come along and you’ll likely meet some new collaborators!
Best wishes,
Ginny Hendricks
(on behalf of the FORCE2019 team)
