In conjunction with the US National Science Foundation (NSF) [external], the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) [external], and the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) [external] we held our 3rd International Digital Curation Conference, entitled "Curating our Digital Scientific Heritage: a Global Collaborative Challenge," which focused on emerging strategy, policy implementation, leading-edge research and practitioner experience, and comprised a mix of peer-reviewed papers, invited presentations and international keynote speakers.
