Betreff: ICORE: Progress, Collaboration Wiki, Events and Second ICORE Online Meeting on Wednesday, 23rd of October 2013 - please forward and join

Dear colleague,

we hope that you could enjoy a wonderful and relaxing holiday season!

And we are pleased to inform you that ICORE, the International Council for Open Research and Open Education, made huge progress!

ICORE has gained increasing awareness, many new members and first success:
Our ICORE session proposal was accepted by the programme committee of the international conference OEB (with 2000 participants from over 100 countries).
And our ICORE website is growing and offering the Collaboration Wiki next to all other first information.
We believe that ICORE is coming at the right time to promote and to connect Open Research and Open Education!

Today, we would like to announce the second ICORE Online Meeting to continue our fruitful discussion:
The second ICORE online meeting will take place on Wednesday, 23rd of October 2013!

The topics to be discussed will be:

·         ICORE future strategy and objectives,

·         Collaboration in the ICORE Wiki (http://wiki.ICORE-online.org/index.php/Main_Page),

·         Definitions of key terms,

·         Planning of first ICORE events (First ICORE event: Session at OEB on 6th of December 2013)
