EAHIL 2020: Be Open. Act Together ONLINE

Due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and with the safety of our community as a top priority the Local Organising Committee for the 17th EAHIL Conference in Lodz, Poland, have decided to deliver the Conference as an online event. The virtual EAHIL 2020 Conference will take place on 16-18 November 2020 and will replace the Conference that was going to be held by the Information and Library Center of the Medical University of Lodz in Vienna House Andel’s Lodz conference hotel. We have been carefully monitoring the situation with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the recommendations regarding events and travel provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Polish Government and, regrettably, we feel that this is the only proper decision to be made during these difficult times.

The conference, whose theme is Be Open Act Together, will focus mainly on Open Access and seven thematic areas, such as:

1. Open Access
2. Research Data Management
3. Research Assessment
4. Open Science
5. Professional Development and Collaboration
6. Open Health Information
7. Innovations in Libraries
