Upcoming Conferences

Open Distance and e-Learning Conference

An exciting new virtual conference on “Open distance and e-learning” (ODeL) will take place August 3-5, 2022 and the final call for papers is still open. ‘All Things Research in Open Distance and eLearning’ is the theme of the conference this year. Papers are invited from both established and emerging academics, researchers, and scholars, and the Call for Papers is still open through July 15th.

The conference seeks to promote discussion on open distance and e-learning (ODeL) research in the age of the internet’s widespread connectivity.

Open Science innovation for the upcoming ODeL Conference

On the collection page of ODeL 2022, you can learn more about the sub-topics and the structure of the conference. Submit a paper and join in the discussion!

R2OM

On September 12^th, ScienceOpen and HTWK Leipzig will be organizing the Road to Open Meta conference, which will aim to define the existing challenges of metadata communication and provide a forum to discuss and present solutions on how to overcome possible problem areas.

Various stakeholders of the Open Science and Open Access communities will round up the event by investigating questions on what makes systemic metadata communication difficult and how to overcome those metadata communication challenges for better distribution and discoverability results.

A special focus will be to examine how OA has also changed the way we use metadata in the context of research evaluation. To learn more about the conference and to register, please visit the event page here.

RExPO22

REPO4EU is a Horizon Europe project that aims to create a connected European Platform for Drug Repurposing that will integrate the scientific, methodological, financial, legal, regulatory, and IP dimensions of drug repurposing, as well as enable and facilitate seamless access to, pooling, and sharing of high-quality data assets in the field. The 1st International Conference on Drug Repurposing will kick off this project, and it will surely be an event not to be missed.

RExPO22, the first in the RExPO yearly conference series, will be held in Maastricht, the Netherlands, from September 2nd to 3rd, 2022.

In our unique collection infrastructure, ScienceOpen allows open access to publishing for conference papers. This gives conferences an online presence and increases dissemination and awareness of conference proceedings through integration into ScienceOpen’s discovery environment.

Electronic Workshops in Computing (eWiC)

The ‘Electronic Workshops in Computing (eWiC)‘ collection is highlighted by ScienceOpen as an important step forward in advancing computing research and contributing to the positive social impact of its latest findings. The eWiC Series is managed and published by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, and has an international scope.

The eWiC Series provides free access to workshop and conference proceedings on a wide range of computing topics. Each eWiC volume is based on the proceedings of a specialized workshop and is intended to provide a snapshot of current knowledge, debate, or research.

Discover some titles from the conference collection:

• National Flowers in Blue: Reinvigorating analog imaging techniques in the era of big data and pixel perfection
• More than Human: Merging real and virtual states of being from arts and culture to wellness in a post-Covid world
• Digital Relationality: Relational aesthetics in contemporary interactive art
• Tackle Climate Change Through Art: A case study
• Creative AI Futures: Theory and practice

The 1^st International Conference on Moisture in Buildings

The 1st International Conference on Moisture in Buildings (ICMB21), which took place online last summer on June 28th and 29th, is another conference for which ScienceOpen provides open access publishing.

The ICMB21 proceedings contain more than 80 papers, so there are a lot of interesting results to sift through on the topic of moisture induced damage on built environment . Using ScienceOpen’s advanced search capabilities, users can quickly locate papers on topics of interest. Furthermore, ScienceOpen’s ‘Share’ tools allow users to share papers directly to their social media accounts.

The interactive environment of ScienceOpen encourages the sharing and discussion of conference proceedings, which will continue long after the conference has happened.

Below you can find several interesting titles highlighted from the ICMB21 collection:

• Lessons from the Classroom – assessing the work of postgraduate students to support better hygrothermal risk assessment
• Thermal and Skin Condition in Scottish Care Homes in Heating Seasons
• Vinyl flooring on concrete – a moisture problem only in the Nordic countries?
• Study on the population of airborne bacteria and antibiotic resistance from a hospital environment
• A multidisciplinary approach to address climate-resilience, conservation and comfort in traditional architecture: The PROT3CT example

ScienceOpen at SSP Annual Meeting

The 44th Annual Meeting of the Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) was another big event of June, with publishers and different industry leaders gathering in Chicago and discussing ideas on a more connected scholarly community in the future.

Our colleague Nina attended the event, and we are sharing below her impressions on this year’s meeting and all the inspiration coming from some of the latest innovations in the industry.
