  OAI Workshops are prominent European OA events in the year in which
  they are held. Places are still available and registration is open at
  http://indico.cern.ch/confRegistrationFormDisplay.py/display?confId=3D211600. The

  to exchange ideas, and to hear papers from leading experts in the
  field.
