As such, it is intended to provide similar low-cost networking and educational opportunities for librarians and other specialists supporting research data management in the Southeastern United States. However, students and data specialists from outside of the region are welcome to attend. A planning committee of librarians from Duke, Emory, Florida State, Georgia State, Georgia Tech, and the University of Virginia are responsible for developing the program and organizing symposium events. Topics covered may include data visualization, data sharing and reuse, data curation and preservation, and data literacy. Stay tuned for additional information and announcements.

The CLEF Initiative is structured in two main parts: - a series of Evaluation Labs, i.e. laboratories to conduct evaluation of information access systems and workshops to discuss and pilot innovative evaluation activities; - a peer-reviewed Conference on a broad range of issues, including - investigation continuing the activities of the Evaluation Labs; - experiments using multilingual and multimodal data; in particular, but not only, data resulting from CLEF activities; - research in evaluation methodologies and challenges. Since 2000 CLEF has played a leading role in stimulating investigation and research in a wide range of key areas in the information retrieval domain. It has promoted the study and implementation of appropriate evaluation methodologies for diverse types of tasks and media. Over the years, a wide, strong, and multidisciplinary research community has been built, which covers and spans the different areas of expertise needed to deal with the breadth of CLEF activities. CALL FOR BIDS The CLEF Steering Committee solicits proposals from groups interested in organizing the CLEF conference and labs in September 2020. Groups submitting a bid for CLEF 2020 also commit themselves to collect membership fees on behalf of the CLEF Association and to pass them to the CLEF Association.
