The 16th International Conference on Current Research Information Systems (CRIS2024) was held May 15-17, 2024 at the Technical University of Vienna (TU Wien) in Austria. Jointly organised by euroCRIS, the RIS Synergy project, TU Wien and Universität Wien, the event saw a significant growth in participation with regard to the previous CRIS2022 Conference in Dubrovnik -- some figures for CRIS2024 are shown in the slide below delivered by the euroCRIS President Jan Dvořák in the course of his "Update from the Board" presentation at the closing of the event on Fri May 17th, 2024. All presentations delivered during the conference are available in the euroCRIS repository and the process for publishing a selection of them in the CRIS2024 proceedings is already underway.
