(Apologies for – another! – cross-posting)

Proposals for presentations on new or creative approaches to research
communications and e-scholarship are invited to #FORCE2018 – to be held at
the Ludmer Centre of McGill University in Montreal, Canada on October 11 &
12, 2018.

FORCE2018 promises to be a different kind of meeting, where stakeholders
come to the table for an open discussion, on an even playing field, to talk
about changing the ways scholarly and scientific information is
communicated, shared and used.

Researchers, publishers, librarians, computer scientists, informaticians,
funders, educators, citizens, patients, and others attend the FORCE meeting
with a view to supporting the realisation of promising new ideas and
identifying new potential collaborators. FORCE2018 is hosted by the in
Montreal, Canada

The theme of FORCE2018 is engagement. Proposals should emphasise how
presenters are engaging their local communities – worldwide – or how they
will engage FORCE2018 participants. This might mean an interactive
presentation, showcasing the tangible impact of your work, encouraging the
FORCE2018 community to join your efforts, or another way in which others
are engaged.
