GRL2020 (Global Research Libraries 2020)

GRL2020 is a series of workshops dedicated to paving the way for a Collaborative Global Research Environment for the future. These workshops aggregate world’s most highly regarded experts in the field of Digital Libraries and other fields related to the management and access of scientific content. The first workshop of the series was held in Washington State (USA) in September 2007; the second one in Pisa (Italy) in March 2008, and the third one will be in Taiwan in February 2009. Until now these workshops have been partially sustained by Microsoft Research. However, it is expected that this important series of workshop will continue also in the future sustained by International Funding Agencies.

Collaboration:

The D4Science project objectives match very closely the ones addressed by GRL2020. D4Science is actually a prototypical realization of a Global Digital Library as defined by the participants in these workshops. D4Science partners are actively involved in the GRL2020 community. The project has been presented at the past workshops and interesting plans for collaboration between D4Science and GRL2020 workshop participants have been established.
