DELOS Summer School in Digital Preservation: Further
Announcement
The third DELOS Network of Excellence summer school
programme on
'Digital Preservation in Digital Libraries: Realising
Possibilities'.
The DELOS Network of Excellence is a four-year project
funded by the
European Commission under the Sixth Framework Programme to
synergize and
foster technology for the next-generation of Digital
Libraries
(www.delos.info).
Participation in the School assists attendees in
understanding how to
address digital preservation challenges within the context
of the
digital library. In addition, the School provides a
networking
opportunity by creating the opportunity to meet with other
researchers,
international experts, and practitioners across disciplinary
and
national boundaries.
The school will take place at Santa Croce in Fossabanda
(Pisa, Italy)
during the week beginning 3 June 2007. We hope that the
audience will be
young researchers and professionals with an interest in the
topic.
Internationally established lecturers will each lead one
half-day
session and most will be available through the week for
further
discussion. The learning outcomes

On the

20 kms from
Pisa and is one of the few Tuscan towns to retain its
original urban
structure as the ancient centre as enclosed and protected by
Roman
walls. Lucca developed within them until the end of the 19th
century,
creating an interesting superimposition of historical
styles.
