DIACHRON project Dissemination Workshop on “Data evolution and preservation” 24-3-2016

This one-day workshop will be organized by the ATHENA RIC, which is one of the core research and technology partners of the project, in a central venue of Athens in the 24th of March 2016.

 

The consortium of the DIACHRON FP7 project (http://www.diachron-fp7.eu/), throughout its three-year duration, has designed and implemented robust solutions addressing these issues. Therefore, the DIACHRON project is organizing a workshop in order to present and disseminate these research and technological improvements to interesting parties, academic and research institutions and relevant EU projects in the data preservation and archiving area. Moreover, this workshop aims at providing a forum to the above entities to present their view on these topics and thus allowing the multidirectional technology and expertise transfer between the participants of the workshop.

Dr. Gavrilis, from DCU, will be presenting a talk entitled “Digital preservation aspects in curation-oriented aggregation environment: find out MORe”.
