The third Digital Infrastructure for Research Conference (DI4R 2018) is to be held in Lisbon, from 9th to 11th October 2018. This year’s theme is ‘Challenges for Research Communities around Open Science’.
DI4R 2018 is jointly organised by EOSC-hub, GÉANT, OpenAIRE and PRACE. It will be hosted by the Laboratory of Instrumentation and Experimental Particle Physics (LIP) and will take place at the premises of the ISCTE- University Institute of Lisbon.
DI4R 2018 will showcase the policies, processes, best practices, data and services necessary for the support of the research process to ultimately advance scientific knowledge through open science. Researchers, innovators, data producers, scientific domain experts, librarians, data science practitioners, service providers, project leaders, policy makers and funders, are invited to bring their voice to DI4R 2018.
Following the previous DI4R events, the conference will be an opportunity to report and discuss requirements, existing solutions and success stories that highlight the relevance of open science and its enabling building blocks. By bringing together many different stakeholders, the conference will foster cooperation between infrastructure projects, communities and initiatives.
In the 2018 edition, the Programme Committee is chaired by Sinéad Ryan (Trinity College) and Volker Guelzow (DESY).
