They’ll address themes in infrastructure and promoting open research

If you’ve never been to FORCE before, it’s a unique and collaborative meeting. It brings together multiple communities to discuss improving the ways scholarly and scientific information is communicated, shared and used.

"I can't think of a better conference for meeting smart people focused on designing and building the future of scholarly infrastructure – that's why FORCE is so special." – Arfon Smith
