We're pleased to announce that the full programme for the forthcoming International Digital Curation Conference has now been released. Day 1 includes an exciting range of keynote and plenary speakers with a wide variety of perspectives on digital curation and research data management. It also features the best of the submitted, peer-reviewed papers - on a topical subject of education for e-science professionals.
Paper submissions for this year's International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC10) closed on Monday 9th August. The task of assigning reviewers is now complete and their work is beginning in earnest. We've had 45 proposals for research and practice papers this year, greater than in any previous year. That inevitably means some difficult decisions ahead and some authors are likely to be disappointed. On a more positive note, it promises a high quality of presentation and debate at the conference this December in Chicago.
We're pleased to announce that the Paper Submission date for IDCC10 has been extended by 2 weeks. The Call will now close at 1700 BST (that's 1600 UTC, 1800 CEST, 12pm EDT, 9am PDT) on Monday 9 August 2010.Submissions can be in the form of an abstract (maximum of 1000 words) for practice based papers or a full paper (maximum 12 pages) for research based papers. The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) will provide limited travel awards for graduate students whose papers are accepted for the conference.
