FCCN Days in February

The 2014 FCCN Conference will be held next February, on the 5th, 6th and 7th, at the University of Évora. This event is the main annual meeting point for the entities that make up the national higher education and research community, namely those responsible for technical IT services, archivists and librarians.

The Science, Technology and Society Network (RCTS), b-On - the online knowledge library, Portugal's Open Access Scientific Repository (RCAAP) or the video services available to the scientific community, are some of the topics highlighted during the conference.

In the 2014 edition, the program brings together 46 speakers from 19 different institutions, in 57 interventions spread over two plenary sessions, 11 working meetings and 6 workshops. The program also brings some new features compared to previous years: the number of plenary sessions has been extended and several workshops will be available. A 'Meet the geek' space has also been created to be used as a direct meeting point with experts in the various areas in which the FCCN operates. There will also be various challenges for participants, which will take place over the three days of the event.

Registration is open until February 2nd. More information on registration, detailed program, logistical information and accommodation is available at http://jornadas.fccn.pt/.
