Entering our second decade, we have an opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been and, more importantly, where we’re heading. New development continues apace, and we’ve reached the time when many organizations are exploring expansive connections with larger
processes both inside and outside traditional boundaries. Open Repositories 2016 will explore how our rich collections and infrastructure are now an inherent part of contemporary scholarship and research and how they have expanded to touch many aspects of
our academic and cultural enterprises.</span><span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions, and presenters the chance to disseminate their work in more depth and context than a traditional poster.</span><span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="line-height:15.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The Open Repositories Steering Committee is delighted to announce that we are supporting the Open Repositories 2016 Scholarship Programme.
This programme will provide support for a small number of full registered places for the 2016 conference in Dublin through a competitive application process. The programme is open to librarians, repository managers, developers, and researchers in digital libraries
and related fields. Applicants submitting a paper for the conference will be given priority consideration for funding (please provide details of your submission in the application form).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Two questions in the application form ask ‘What is it about Open Repositories that interests you’ and ‘What do you expect to gain from
attending the conference?’ You may wish to prepare answers to these before completing the form as the responses to these will be critical to the success of your application.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Please note: the Scholarship provides funding only for a full conference registration (including the conference banquet and poster reception).
It does not cover other costs such as accommodation, travel, and subsistence. It is anticipated that the applicant’s home institution will provide financial support to supplement the OR Scholarship Award.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
