It is being organized by a consortium of research projects in association with the journal Information Communication and Society (iCS). The Oxford e-Research Conference 08 seeks to stimulate and inform multi-disciplinary research on the development, use and implications of information and communication technologies (ICTs), like the Internet, in shaping research across the disciplines. It will bring together academics and practitioners involved in key e-Research projects around the world to examine new developments in the technology and organization of e-research, and to critically examine studies of the social shaping and role of the Internet, Web and the Grid in the research process across the disciplines. The conference seeks to facilitate scholarly communication and publication on this topic, and help foster a broader public understanding of the significance of this area to the sciences and humanities as well as to the public at large.
