From May 21st to 23rd, the CCSD will be pleased to welcome in Lyon the general assembly and the annual conference of COAR.
COAR (Confederation of Open Access Repositories) is a confederation founded in 2009 in order to facilitate a global repository Community of Practice and a world-wide virtual repository network.
The main objectives are to enhance the visibility of research outputs through OA repositories ; to identify and promote strategies to fill repositories with content and facilitate agreements with publishers ; to work closely with the repository community towards repository standardization and interoperability and to provide professional advice and networking opportunities for repository managers and practitioners.
COAR represents over 100 institutions from 35 countries from throughout Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia and North America. The French members are the CNRS represented by the CCSD, Science Po, the IRD, Arts et Métiers as well as the universities of Lorraine and Lille.
Next week’s congress will bring together 115 participants from all continents. We will be hosted by the University of Lyon with the support of the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation.
