Repository Fringe 2014 - programme announced!

A free event, Repository Fringe provides an annual forum for repository administrators, developers/coders, and information professionals to interact and explore the application of innovative technologies including cultural developments (such as research data management principles and open data, social media, altmetrics) to their ongoing repository work in a relaxed and informal environment.

One of the key attractions of the event is also its concurrence with the start of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (hence the name!), also sharing its location on the University of Edinburgh campus with some of the key Fringe venues each year.

We are delighted to welcome Yvonne Budden from the University of Warwick as our keynote speaker for 2014 who will be discussing the current state of open access within the UK. The programme also features presentations on several of the recently announced Jisc Pathfinder projects, as well as updates on various projects which have been ongoing across different institutions, including the University of Edinburgh.

More information about Repository Fringe is available on the website and registration is open now, with tickets booking up fast.

The full programme for the event is now online.
