About the
conference:
This
multi-disciplinary, international conference on e-Research will be held at the
University of
Oxford from 11-13 September
2008. It is being organized by a consortium of research projects in association
with the journal Information Communication and Society (iCS).
The Oxford e-Research
Conference 08 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 academics and practitioners involved in key e-Research projects
around the world to examine new developments in the technology and organization
of e-research, and to critically examine studies of the social shaping and role
of the Internet, Web and the Grid in the research process across the
disciplines. 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. More details: http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/microsites/eresearch08/
