[open-science] First talks announced for #FORCE2019

Fri Aug 2 11:55:00 UTC 2019

Hi everyone,

We’re pleased to announce an early – partial – list of talks and speakers
for the FORCE11 meeting this October in Edinburgh. We received nearly 180
outstanding proposals – thank you! – and the Program Committee is now
finishing up their work to shape a great program for you. We hope to
announce the final program in mid- to late August.

For now, we’re happy to say that speakers from MIT, the Open University,
Utrecht University,

SAGE, Springer Nature, ASAPbio, COAR, Crossref, and the Chan Zuckerberg
Initiative have all confirmed their participation.

They’ll talk about ways to help open citations, the future of preprints,
new funding sources for infrastructure, community-building to push for open
access, code publication and peer review, registered reports &
reproducibility, open competitions to drive innovation, text-mining the
scholarly literature, open-source publishing, and collaboration building
across teams working with research data. And that’s just the start of what
this year’s program will be! (The program committee’s invitations are still
going out, so please stand by if you’re waiting to hear about your
proposal).

Our first list of speakers is now available on the meeting website
<https://www.force11.org/meetings/force2019/program/program>.

Register now <https://www.force11.org/meetings/force2019> to attend.

Thanks! We’ll look forward to seeing you there.

----------

The FORCE11 annual conference is a different kind of meeting, where
stakeholders come together 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, and
others attend the FORCE11 meeting with a view to supporting the realisation
of promising new ideas and identifying new potential collaborators.

FORCE2019 will be held October 16 and 17, 2019 at the BT Murrayfield Rugby
Stadium, with pre-conference workshops at the Grosvenor Hotel on October
15. Please join us.

Sponsorship opportunities are available
