[okfn-discuss] Great News for the Weekend! SCIDATACON 2016 DEADLINES EXTENDED TO 30 MAY

[Simon CODATA]

Great news for the weekend!  Colleagues will be pleased to hear that the deadline for submission of abstracts for papers and posters to SciDataCon 2016 has been extended to 30 May.

The extension comes in response to numerous requests and in order to have a full call for posters.  Please note, however, that there will be no further extension of this deadline.

Submit abstracts at http://www.scidatacon.org/2016/submit/

Please consult the guidelines for papers and for posters very carefully http://www.scidatacon.org/2016/submit/ and consider the scope of the conference http://www.scidatacon.org/site/themes-scope/

You may submit abstracts to any of the 48 selected sessions or to the general submission.  We will physically group posters according to themes and the sessions to which they relate.  For this reason, poster submission will be dealt with in the same way as with papers.  Poster abstracts should be submitted to accepted sessions or to a General Submission option.

What is SciDataCon 2016?
SciDataCon is THE international conference for scrutiny and discussion of the frontier issues of data in research.  The scope of SciDataCon covers scientific, infrastructure and policy matters and the place of data in research endeavour and scholarly communications; the opportunities of the data revolution for the global research enterprise; innovations in data science and data stewardship; and the challenge of developing a sustainable data ecosystem, including the role of education and capacity building.
