[okfn-br] Fwd: Applications for OpenCon 2014 now open!

[Carolina Rossini]

*Applications to attend OpenCon 2014 in Washington, DC from November 15-17
are officially open!  *

Students and early career researchers can apply now at
www.opencon2014.org/apply. The application form includes the option to
apply for a travel scholarship, which will be awarded to many accepted
participants.

Organized by the Right to Research Coalition and SPARC, OpenCon 2014 is the
student and early career researcher conference on Open Access, Open
Education, and Open Data and will be held on November 15-17, 2014 in
Washington, DC. The meeting will convene students and early career
researchers from around the world and serve as a powerful catalyst for
projects led by the next generation of scholars and researchers to advance
OpenCon's three focus areas

*Applications will remain open for 3 weeks—until the end of the day on
August 25th.* However, we strongly encourage you to apply early. Acceptance
decisions will begin to be made immediately, and if you will need a visa to
travel to the United States, an early acceptance decision could give you
more time to successfully apply for a US visa.

We’re also excited to announce our first OpenCon 2014 speakers, including
Dr. Philip Bourne, the Associate Director for Data Science at the United
States National Institutes of Health, and John Wilbanks, the Chief Commons
Officer at Sage Bionetworks and 2012 TED Global Presenter
