Toward Institutional Policies and Guidelines for Action” will be conducted on September 1-2, 2005 at the Unesco Headquarters, Paris. The workshop will review the possibilities and challenges in creating e-science in the Internet Age. It will also examine the federal and academic procedures in the US, the EU and a few developing nations to manage public scientific content and the merits and demerits of open access to scientific information.
