Structural Frameworks for Open, Digital Research – Strategy, Policy & Infrastructure; International conference & workshop (11 –13 June 2012)

The Digital Agenda for Europe has set sail along as one of the seven flagships of the European Commission under the header of Europe 2020. The agenda calls to unite European research infrastructures backed by several recent reports. Many different individuals and organisations have each their piece of the overall infrastructural jigsaw puzzle that needs to be assembled before scientific and cultural information and data can be managed, shared and re-used more openly and efficiently. The conference aims to bring these stakeholders together and move closer to a coherent vision for the needed action ahead.
