Expressions of Interest Open Repositories 2024

[Claire Knowles]

Dear all, 

The Open Repositories Steering Committee seeks Expressions of Interest (EoI) from candidate host organisations for the 2024 Open Repositories (OR2024) Annual Conference. Preference is for proposals from Europe, though proposals from all geographic areas will be given consideration.

Important dates

The Open Repositories Steering Committee is accepting Expressions of Interest (EoIs) to host the OR2024 conference until June 30th, 2022. Shortlisted sites will be notified by 12th August 2022 and invited to submit a full proposal.

Background

Candidate institutions must have the ability to host at least a four-day conference with up to 500 attendees. This includes appropriate access to conference facilities, accommodation, and transportation, as well as the ability to manage a range of supporting services (food services, internet services, and conference social events; management of registration and online payments; etc.). The candidate institutions and their local arrangements committee must have the means to support the costs of producing the conference through attendee registration and independent fundraising. Fuller guidance is provided in the Open Repositories Conference Handbook on the Open Repositories wiki.

Full Information on the EoI for Open Repositories 2024

There is also a call for new Steering Committee members.  We are inviting nominations, including self-nominations.

Best wishes,

Claire

Open Repositories 2024 Steering Committee Chair
