HEATHER PIWOWAR CONFIRMED AS A KEYNOTE SPEAKER

We are delighted to announce that one of the keynote speakers at Open 
Repositories 2019 will be Dr. Heather Piwowar.

Unpaywall database for Open Access discovery.  Unpaywall's collection of 20 
million Open Access links is used by Europe PMC, Web of Science, the British 
Library, and thousands of libraries worldwide. The free browser extension is 
used by more than 150,000 people, and the API gets a million calls a day.

A longtime advocate for Open Science, Dr Piwowar is also a leading researcher 
in research data availability and reuse, including a seminal paper measuring 
the citation benefit of publicly available research data.  Dr Piwowar has a 
bachelor’s and master’s degree from MIT in electrical engineering, 10 years of 
experience as a software engineer, and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Informatics.

SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSALS BY JANUARY 9, 2019!

The 14th International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2019, will be 
organized in Hamburg, Germany, June 10-13, 2019.

This year’s conference theme is "All the User Needs". The aim is to provide the 
attendees an opportunity to explore and reflect on the ways repositories 
interact with their users. In addition to the overall user-centered theme there 
are also a number of sub-themes, which address many of the current issues 
related to digital repositories and their role in open scholarship and open 
cultural heritage.

The Call for Proposals for OR2019 is available at http://or2019.net/cfp/. We 
are looking for proposals for several different tracks: presentations, panels, 
24x7s, developer track presentations & demos, posters, workshops and tutorials.

The submission system for proposals is now open (see 
https://www.conftool.net/or2019/). The deadline for the submissions is 
Wednesday, January 9, 2019.

SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE

OR2019 will again run a Scholarship Programme which will enable us to provide 
support for a small number of fully funded places for the conference in 
Hamburg. The programme is open to librarians, repository managers, developers 
and researchers in digital libraries and related fields. Applicants submitting 
a proposal for the conference will be given priority consideration for funding.

Full details and an application form will be available on the conference web 
site (http://or2019.net/) shortly.

We look forward to seeing you in Hamburg in June!
