Events & Webinars

The information industry was already experiencing disruptive challenges when the global pandemic hit and accelerated the pace of change. With increased customer expectations, rapidly changing technology capabilities, and business model uncertainty it seems fair to say content markets can no longer be viewed as mature.

Following on from several conversations with industry professionals and the awareness that there is a need we are excited to announce the launch of industry events focusing on the needs and challenges for scholarly API and widget integrations – The ConTech.Live Scholarly API Series.

Leading international journal of science, Nature - part of publisher Springer Nature - will this year expand its partnership with Hay Festival. Events at Hay Festival 2022, running 26 May - 5 June in Hay-on-Wye, will support a wider range of exceptional communicators of science to attend and present their work.

Thanks to our valued partner Data Licensing Alliance (DLA) for being a co-sponsor for the recent ConTech Pharma which took place earlier this month.

The London Book Fair has today announced the line-up for The Research and Scholarly Publishing Forum (7th April 2022), which will explore technology and new concepts driving change, the nuances and realities of Open Access, as well as views from institutions, research funders and consortia.

ConTech Pharma is at the heart of these changes and features a phenomenal speaker line up including Roche, SciBite, Protocols.io, Molecular Connections, Springer Nature and the STM Association

ConTech Pharma on 1st and 2nd March features a phenomenal speaker line up including Roche, SciBite, Protocols.io, Molecular Connections, Springer Nature and the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre will discuss FAIR data.

ConTech Pharma sets the scene by saying what is FAIR data, or more importantly what purpose does this concept and its implementation fulfil?

ConTech Pharma is looking to understand examples of how FAIR data projects have successfully delivered; what challenges have been identified and perhaps overcome; and how can collaborative initiatives address and overcome challenges in a systematic manner. 

ConTech Pharma is taking place 100% online 1st and 2nd March. That’s just over a month away. Day 1 is a mix of thought leadership, case studies and examples of expert deployment of FAIR data and advanced content technologies. Day 2 is a world café style set of discussions and workshop sessions designed to offer real practical insights for implementation.

Perhaps it is time to move beyond the acronym and engage with the reality. There are 15 principles, but in truth it is about making business decisions that underline your plans for digital transformation.
