[open-science] SciDataCon 2014: Data Sharing and Integration for Global Sustainability

Wed Jan 29 09:43:21 UTC 2014

Hello All,

As I am near to Delhi, I would like to attend this Conference. Being a
scientist from Agricultural Sciences, I would like to talk on behalf of
Open Data in Agricultural Sciences.

I hope many who are in this list from India would also be interested to
attend the conference.

Any joint proposals?? count me in...

Thanks & Regards
Sridhar
