The Oxford eResearch Conference 2008 - Oxford, UK

This multi-disciplinary, international conference on e-Research is being organized by a consortium of research projects in association with the journal Information Communication and Society (iCS). It seeks to stimulate and inform multi-disciplinary research on the development, use and implications of information and communication technologies (ICTs), like the Internet, in shaping research across the disciplines. It will bring together research from key e-Research projects from around the world examining the role of the Internet, Web and the Grid in research.

The conference seeks to facilitate scholarly communication and publication on this topic, and help foster a broader public understanding of the significance of this area to the sciences and humanities as well as to the public at large.

Anyone with a serious interest in conducting research on the development or use of ICTs across the disciplines should attend, as well as those with questions about how new research tools might impact the range, significance and quality of research. The conference is intended to complement and extend the activities of key research projects and programmes in this area, representatives of which are among the organizing committee.

DATE: 11-13 September 2008
LOCATION: University of Oxford: The Oxford Internet Institute (1 St Giles, Oxford OX1 3JS) and Oxford e-Research Centre (7 Keble Road, Oxford OX1 3QG).
