As presented at the closing presentation ("An update from the Board") at the Autumn 2024 euroCRIS membership meeting at INRAE in Paris yesterday, two current euroCRIS Board members will step down at the end of this year. As a consequence, candidacies for the new Board 2025/2026 are being sought among euroCRIS members. In order to submit your application, please email eurocris [at] eurocris.org before EOB on Fri Dec 6th.
A form is available for the online voting process to choose the eleven members for the Advisory Board for OpenAlex. With a few names from the research information management community featured among the 50+ candidates for the Board, euroCRIS members (and the wider RIM community) are encouraged to take part in the voting process.
On Nov 18th, 2024 the special issue of Procedia Computer Science was published containing the proceedings for the CRIS2024 conference held at TU Wien last May. 33 papers have been published in these CRIS2024 proceedings, which for the first time in euroCRIS history are divided into sections.
The final programme for the Nov 26-28 euroCRIS Strategic Membership Meeting in Paris is already available on the event website. As usual in these Autumn SMMs, the programme includes a national session, a strategic parner session and numerous contributions from euroCRIS members. This year's Autumn meeting programme will also see the launch of the AI4CRIS WG.
The camera-ready papers for the CRIS2024 conference proceedings have now entered the production stage. The first notifications for authors to complete the Rights & Access form that will allow them to select the licence for their published CRIS2024 conference papers were sent out to authors as of Nov 9th, 2024. The advice from euroCRIS is for all authors to select a CC BY 4.0 licence for their papers on that Rights & Access form.
