2013 sees the 8th OAI Workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication at the University of Geneva and at CERN.

These Workshops are major international gatherings where those interested in Scholarly Communication developments can meet, discuss and network. OAI8 will be taking place in the context of the EU’s launch of its €80 billion Horizon 2020 programme. Discussions are currently underway to see what place Open Access may have as an output from its funded research programmes. New areas to be discussed at OAI8 will be Alternative Metrics and a special focus on Scholarly Communication developments in the Arts and Humanities.
