ORCID an international, interdisciplinary, open and not-for-profit organisation, will be hosting its next biannual Outreach meeting on October 17, in Berlin, Germany. This meeting is seen as an opportunity to learn about the progress of the ORCID initiative in person and to discuss relevant issues with the research community. The programme will include interactive presentations on ORCID integration, an overview of the features in the October launch, and a demo of the ORCID Registry.
The Open Researcher & Contributor ID (ORCID) Initiative is a community effort to establish an open, independent registry of persistent unique identifier for researchers and scholars and automated linkages to research objects that is adopted and embraced as the industry’s de facto standard.
ORCID participants should first sign-in with their orcid.org account before proceeding to the event registration. Those unable to attend in person can participate via WebEx for broadcast audio and viewing of the presentation slides (registration required).
The preliminary conference program will be posted in August. Interested parties may register online at http://about.orcid.org/civicrm/event/register?reset=1&id=6.
