Workshop on Open Citations & Open Scholarly Metadata 2025
On May 28-29 2025 the Barcelona Declaration is co-organizing the 5th Workshop on Open Citations and Open Scholarly Metadata (WOOC2025) together with the University of Bologna and OpenCitations.
Registration fees for this meeting can be covered for signatory and supporting organizations of the Barcelona Declaration.
Full information on the workshop is available at https://workshop-oc.github.io/.
The Workshop
The first day of the meeting will be dedicated to the Bologna Meeting on Open Research Information. It aims to encourage discussion between the signatories and supporters of the Barcelona Declaration and other interested participants.
The second day of the meeting will be dedicated to invited contributions, presentations and a poster session* on the topic of open scholarly metadata (comparable to previous editions of WOOC).
The day dedicated to the Barcelona Declaration will have a workshop-like character and will be focused on the actions in the roadmap that were collectively put together during the Paris Conference on Open Research Information. It will also be an opportunity for the working groups that are currently being set up to present their plans and discuss these with other participants.
Participation in both days of WOOC2025 is open to everyone. The aim is to welcome the signatories and supporters of the Barcelona Declaration, and anyone interested in open research information, in an interactive event that aspires to encourage the incubation of ideas to strategically orient the development of open research information practices.
Call for participation and contributions is now open
Registration for the meeting (as well as the call for submissions of a contribution for day 2) is open until January 31, 2025, using this form.
There is a maximum of 100 participants - in case of oversubscription, the organizers will evaluate applications and select attendees from among those who have applied.
Important notice
The registration fee for accepted participants will be approximately €200, covering both days of the event. This fee includes venue costs, coffee breaks and lunches, and the conference dinner on Day 1.
For Barcelona Declaration signatory and supporting organizations, the registration fee can be covered by the Barcelona Declaration for a maximum of 2 participants per organization.
If you want your registration fee to be covered by the Barcelona Declaration, please indicate so on the registration form. If you have already registered, registration fees can similarly be covered - we will contact you automatically when decisions on acceptance have been made.
We are also exploring options for remote participation on Day 1, and will share information about this at a later stage.
