This series of Workshops in Geneva has become the major Open Access event in Europe in the year in which it is held. For these three days, librarians, IT professionals, publishers and researchers come together to network, hear presentations from keynote speakers, attend Tutorials on cutting-edge themes, and congtribute their ideas through Breakout/Technical sessions and Poster displays. The Workshop is designed to provide a focus for the interchange of ideas, the building of new partnerships, the annoucement of new developments and the celebration of succesess in innovation in the whole Scholarly Communications process.
The Workshops will be held in the University of Geneva at the Institute of Graduate Studies and Campus Biotech. Both locations are close to each other and easily accessible on the Geneva tram network. The Programme Committee is currently drawing up an innovative programme for the meeting. Please reserve the dates for OAI9 in your diaries now. Keep an eye on the Workshop website at http://indico.cern.ch/e/oai9, which also lists the Twitter feed and hashtag for the meeting.
