The DELOS Association on Digital Libraries, Digital Curation
Centre (DCC),
DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE), and the Feltrinelli
Foundation are
delighted to announce that we will be delivering our 4th
Summer School on
preservation in digital libraries from the 8th to the 14th
of June 2008 in
Tirrenia, Italy. This is the fourth in this series of summer
schools with
earlier ones held at Sofia Antipolis (2005), San Miniato
(2006), and Pisa
(2007).

Participation in the Summer School assists attendees in
understanding how to
address digital preservation and curation challenges within
the context of
digital libraries and data archives. In addition, the Summer
School offers
participants the opportunity to network with other
researchers,
international experts, and practitioners across disciplinary
and national
boundaries.

We hope that the audience will be, as it has been in the
past, mainly young
researchers and professionals with an interest in the topic
of digital
curation and preservation. This one-week intensive school
will consist of
nine half-day sessions. Internationally established
lecturers will each lead
each session and most will be available through the week for
further
discussion. To view the course timetable, please see
http://www.dpc.delos
.info/ss08/.

Venue
The Grand Hotel Continental in Tirrenia is located on the
fabulous golden
sand beaches about ten kilometres from Pisa with a pine
graced nature
reserve nearby and views of the mountains. Tirrenia has
frequent public
connections to Pisa itself.  The rooms for lectures and
breakout groups
provide an evocative and pleasant atmosphere. Onsite
accommodation is
available.

Registration
University students, PhD students and postdoctoral
researchers can access a
limited number of DCC, Feltrinelli Foundation, HATII, or DPE
sponsored
student bursaries which cover tuition fees, single-occupancy
accommodation,
and full-board at the conference venue. These bursaries will
be granted on a
first come, first served policy. Please refer to our bursary
terms and
conditions for more details. http://www

field. For those who
