About the conference:  

This multi-disciplinary, international conference on e-Research will be held
at the University of Oxford from 11-13 September 2008. It is being organized
by a consortium of research projects in association with the journal
Information Communication and Society (iCS). 

The Oxford e-Research Conference 08 seeks to stimulate and inform
multi-disciplinary research on the development, use and implications of
information and communication technologies (ICTs), like the Internet, in
shaping research across the disciplines. It will bring together academics
and practitioners involved in key e-Research projects around the world to
examine new developments in the technology and organization of e-research,
and to critically examine studies of the social shaping and role of the
Internet, Web and the Grid in the research process across the disciplines.
The conference seeks to facilitate scholarly communication and publication
on this topic, and help foster a broader public understanding of the
significance of this area to the sciences and humanities as well as to the
public at large.
