In case anybody is interested in giving a talk and participating in a workshop for the European Marine scientific community. Probably most relevant for somebody based in the EU.
--Kul ----- EuroMarine (http://www.euromarineconsortium.eu/) is organising a workshop to define a "Web Environment" that will provide services to the European Marine scientific community as an effective mean to reach integration among individuals, institutions and consortia across the fields of 'omics, biodiversity and ecology (see the attached programme). Services will address social networking, common/customisable directories (white, yellow and blue pages), news and events posting, scholarly publications (data and papers), education and outreach. Participants will include representatives of past and present EU projects/initiatives/infrastrutures, and web service providers, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, LinkedIn, Thomson Reuters, Elsevier and Wikipedia.Invited participants will benefit from free accommodation & meals at the ATLANTIC HOTEL UNIVERSUM - CONFERENCE CENTRE BREMEN (http://www.atlantic-hotels.de/universum/de/Start.html), and EuroMarine will reimburse in part their travel expenses (maximum amount to be determined). *We would like to invite a Wikimedia representative to**give a 20' talk**and participate in **workshop discussions. * *Invited participants from commercial service providers / foundations are expected to present (20 min) and discuss: 1. The range of services that they can offer to a research community; 2. Case studies of how apps, tools and services are customized by their users.* Invited participants from past and present EU Projects are expected to present (15 min) and discuss: 1. Services that they provide(d) on the web to their partners and/or to the public in general; 2. Their experience with commercial services such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Skype and LinkedIn (e.g. How they were used, how effective they were, what was lacking); 3. How the project plans to archive/maintain the services/products/deliverables that it developed (EuroMarine could act as a central archive for past projects). /Additional cont//extual information/: Euromarine (currently a project funded by the European Commission) will become a self-sustained consortium (with potentially 121research memberorganizations)in 2014. Taking advantage of its durability, it will coordinate / promote the development of the envisioned web environment (which short-lived projects or networks are not able to achieve). *Please let us know rapidly if you can join us in Bremen on 21-23 May 2013. An online registration form is available at http://www.euromarineconsortium.eu/registration.* Best regards, Pierre-François Baisnée (and Stéphane Pesant, for the organizing committee) --- EUR-OCEANS Consortium Executive Director Centre de recherche halieutique (CRH) - avenue Jean Monnet - BP 171 34203 Sète cedex - France tel: +33 (0)4 99 57 32 44 fax: +33 (0)4 99 57 61 23 e-mail: [email protected] http://www.eur-oceans.eu -- Kul Wadhwa Head of Mobile Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
