This workshop is sponsored by Science Commons - a project of Creative Commons, and the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL).

This event follows up on the Commons of Science Conference organized by Science Commons in 2006. The first event was held in Washington DC, at the National Academies of Science Keck Center, and focused largely on US-based commons efforts in the sciences. This satellite event will continue the conversation first started in 2006, looking at commons efforts in Europe and the infrastructure needed to do meaningful e-science. These Conferences aim at bringing together a diverse audience of scientists, policy makers, and commons advocates who are actively interested in designing ways to make access to scientific knowledge more widely available and more transparent across all scientific disciplines.
