Hi, this is likely coming to you via several listserv postings; apologies for
duplication.
The FORCE2019 meeting, taking place in Edinburgh this October 15-17, has
announced their first two keynote speakers:
Rachel Bruce is Head of Open Science at UK Research and Innovation (UKRI
<https://www.ukri.org/>); and Arfon Smith is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal
of Open Source Software <http://joss.theoj.org/> and Head of the Data Science
Mission Office at the Space Telescope Science Institute <http://www.stsci.edu/>
in Baltimore.
They’ll address themes in infrastructure and promoting open research
If you’ve never been to FORCE before, it’s a unique and collaborative meeting.
It brings together multiple communities to discuss improving the ways scholarly
and scientific information is communicated, shared and used.
"I can't think of a better conference for meeting smart people focused on
designing and building the future of scholarly infrastructure – that's why
FORCE is so special." – Arfon Smith
