Venue: Lausanne, Switzerland
LIBER’s Annual Conference is a key meeting point for research library professionals.
Held in late June or early July, the conference brings library directors and their staff together for three days of networking and collaboration. Delegates mainly come from Europe but people from around the world are welcome, and we regularly welcome guests from countries including Australia, Canada and the United States.
The goal of the conference is to identify the most pressing needs for research libraries, and to share information and ideas for addressing those needs.
The conference is open to anyone. It is mainly attended by research library directors and their staff. Popular topics of discussion include (but are not limited to) open science, open access, research data management, citizen science, copyright, metrics, digital humanities and linked open data.
LIBER’s exists to support Europe’s research libraries. We highlight their value to policymakers, provide resources and training and form valuable partnerships.
