Designing Cyberinfrastructure for Collaboration and Innovation
National Academy of Sciences, 21st and C Sts., NW
Washington, DC, January 29-30

This interdisciplinary conference examines the vision, design, and  
policy implications of cyberinfrastructure in the context of open  
innovation, the growing importance of collaboration, and the  
increased presence of intellectual property and other controls on the  
creation, management, and use of knowledge.  As publicly supported  
advanced infrastructure, cyberinfrastructure invites learning from  
the history of the Internet and the explosion of Internet-enabled  
innovation, but there are important technological, institutional, and  
contextual differences.  The conference is co-sponsored by the  
National Science Foundation, the University of Michigan, Science  
Commons, the Council on Competitiveness, and the Committee for  
Economic Development.  A detailed program is now available, please  
see the conference website: http://cyberinfrastructure.us

[There are few hotel rooms from a block reserved for speakers at the  
nearby State Plaza Hotel for $150, but this expires today, Jan 5; see  
"accommodations" on the website for details.]
