Sponsorship of the Metascience 2021 Conference

[Ben Marwick]

Hello everyone, 

The organisers of the  Metascience 2021 Conference have invited us (the SAA Open Science Interest Group) to participate officially as a conference partner. This means we share details of the event to promote engagement in understanding and improving the process and culture of research, and to demonstrate broad commitment and interest in these issues across stakeholders (there's no financial commitment). No archaeologists on the program yet, there's still time!

Unless there are any concerns, I propose to go ahead with this. I recall the 2019 Metascience conference (https://www.metascience2019.org/), which had a lot of good content and was well attended, so I expect this one will be similar. 

warmly,

Ben
