You will also receive an email with the practical information for the conference towards the end of this week. Attached please find the program for your convenience in English and in Greek. The program is online at the website www.openaccess.gr/conference2013 (English and Greek, in the respective versions of the site). Attached as well is the English version of the press release going out today, also to be found at the website of our project www.medoanet.eu and the Greek press release, available later today at www.ekt.gr. I kindly ask that you spread the word on the conference to your professional and other networks through social media and in any way you can in Europe and in Greece. You may use the already existing posts from EKT or from MedOANet facebook as starting points. Two organizational points to note on the conference: *for those speakers arriving from abroad on the 16th of October, there is a reception at the end of the first day of the conference (ie the ‘Greek part’ of the conference), to which you are all invited after 18.00hrs (cf. program). It will take place outside the auditorium at NHRF. The final session of the first day is the ‘bridge’ between the first and second halves of the conference and we look forward to welcoming all conference participants there. *on the 17th of October there is a dinner for conference speakers and MedOANet project partners at 20.00 hrs, on which you will receive information and an RSVP request later in the week. This dinner does not appear in the public program. Jot it in your schedules, and the information will soon arrive your way! The following information on the structure of the sessions concerns the speakers, and not the keynote speakers, who, however, are also informed here. As you will be able to see for yourselves, the program is full and will undoubtedly provide us with three days of exciting food for discussion and for thought. To make the most out of our conference, we ask that we all pay particular attention to the times allotted for the talks. Session chairs will see that we strictly stick to schedule. We would like the conference to be very interactive between presenters and the audience and not to have very long talks. Please pay attention to the following guidelines regarding your talks: with the exception of keynote speeches, speakers for Wednesday and Thursday 16 and 17/10 should not exceed ten (10) minutes in their presentations. Speakers on Friday 18/10 should prepare fifteen (15) minute talks. Following your talks, the session chairs will lead a discussion to which the audience will hopefully engage as well. The session chairs will provide some thematic lines for the structuring of the discussion and possibly also indicate some points that they would like to see included in your talks. Please expect an email from your session chairs on this very soon. Instructions on where to deliver your powerpoints will be provided in the email on the practical information later in the week. The session chairs are the following: 16/10. Greek Open Data and Open Government Policies in a Global Context: Theodoros Karounos 16/10. Open Data and Open Government Innovative Applications: Prodromos Tsiavos 16/10. Open Education and Open Research. Prof. Yannis Caloghirou 17/10. National perspectives on implementing policies for open access to scientific information: Victoria Tsoukala 17/10. Open Access and the European Research Area: Jean-Francois Dechamp 18/10. Implementing Open Access Policies for Research Funding Organizations: Evi Sachini 18/10. Implementing Open Access Policies for Research Performing Organizations: Eloy Rodrigues I also take the opportunity to inform everyone that the conference will be videotaped and broadcast live at: www.ekt.gr/events/live. Videos of your talks and your powerpoint presentations will be set up at the conference website subsequent to the event and will be openly accessible to everyone. We will assume that you have no objections to this, unless you notify us otherwise in writing. Thank you for your attention and apologies for the long email. We look forward to seeing everybody at the conference and to having fruitful sessions there that will genuinely help advance the agenda on open access. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Kind regards, Victoria Tsoukala
