Annual Report 2012

Abstract

This Annual Report highlights the successful events held in 2012, with our biennial conference in Prague as pinnacle. On the 10th of February a full Task Group meetings day was organised for the first time. This initiative was so successful that it was decided to include Task Group meetings in the membership meetings. During the membership meeting in Madrid a new strategic partnership was concluded with the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR). The collaboration with CASRAI, VIVO and CODATA was continued and euroCRIS contributed to their conferences. A new Task Group "Indicators" was established. Last, but not least, a new Board was elected for the term 2013-2014. These elections were very special since three Board members from the very beginning stepped down: Keith Jeffery (President), Anne Asserson (Strategy) and Geert van Grootel (Treasurer).
