[open-science] Fwd: European Commission Information Hearing on Scientific Information

Fri May 6 11:02:42 UTC 2011

This might conceivably be possible for me but looking at the topic list maybe I should focus on the evaluation angle and could pull in someone else for the availability part? Or if that's not feasible I could try and cover all three. I'm juggling a lot of things in that week at the minute though.

Cheers

Cameron
