Open Scholarship 2006: New Challenges for Open Access Repositories is a companion European conference to the OAI meetings at CERN in Geneva—and to the Nordic Scholarly Communication Conferences—and is aimed at librarians, university administrators, funders, academics and technical specialists.

Open access and the development of OA repositories are transforming scholarship and bringing new opportunities and challenges for researchers, librarians and publishers. Open Scholarship 2006 is a pan-European conference which will focus on these new challenges and opportunities. In addition to tutorial sessions on advocacy and policy issues as well as functionality and software issues, OS 2006 will address key themes presented by many leading European practitioners in the field of Open Access. OSI’s Information Program is sponsoring participants of this conference.
