The Twelfth International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2017, will be
held on June 26th-30th, 2017 in Brisbane, Australia. The organisers are
pleased to issue a call for proposals to the program, with submissions due
by 20 November 2016.

In 2017 the Open Repositories conference returns to Australia, where the
Open Repositories journey started in Sydney 2006. Repositories have come a
long way in the intervening years, having emerged as critical systems for
managing, preserving and sharing intellectual, artistic and scientific
output. As such, repositories have found a firm placing within scholarly
processes and becoming an integral vehicle to moving towards true Open
Science. The OR community has established itself as an important
contributor in this space, something we would like to emphasise in Brisbane
by promoting the community’s ability to always stay at the forefront of
development of both infrastructure and good practice.

*OR2017 will provide an opportunity to:*

• showcase innovative repository services as well as innovations in
functionality and user experience of repository  software;

• introduce innovative uses of repositories, for example to accommodate new
types of content, serve new groups of users, or achieve new goals;

•  analyse drivers for repository innovation, including evolving
technologies, changes in scholarly communication processes, as well as
policies around open access to research outputs at institutional, national
and international levels; and

• explore and highlight innovation in the wider ecosystem around
repositories.

We welcome proposals on these ideas, but also on other theoretical,
practical, technical, organisational or administrative topics related to
repositories.
