European Commission Conference: Scientific Publishing in the European
Research Area - Brussels, 15-16 February 2007

On 15-16 February 2007, the European Commission is hosting a conference in
Brussels entitled "Scientific Publishing in the European Research Area -
Access, Dissemination, and Preservation in the Digital Age".

The conference is a joint initiative of the Research and Information
Society Directorate Generals. Commissioner Potočnik and Commissioner
Reding will be speaking at the conference.

The goal of this event is to bring together all stakeholders concerned
with access, dissemination and preservation issues in connection with
scientific publication and data in an effort to provide policy options
for scientific publishing under FP7 and in the European Research Area.

The conference programme and registration information can be found at:
http://ec.europa.eu/research/science-society/page_en.cfm?id=3459.

Attendance is free of charge, but registration is required and places are limited.

We kindly ask you to disseminate information about this conference to
your networks and mailing lists as we hope that it will provide the
opportunity for all stakeholders to voice their opinions and collaborate
to shape the future of European policy in this area.
