Sense of Digital Curation and Preservation
8-14 June 2008
Grand Hotel Continental Tirrenia 
Tirrenia, Italy

The DELOS Association on Digital Libraries, Digital Curation Centre (DCC),
DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE), and the Feltrinelli Foundation are
delighted to announce that we will be delivering our 4th Summer School on
preservation in digital libraries from the 8th to the 14th of June 2008 in
Tirrenia, Italy. This is the fourth in this series of summer schools with
earlier ones held at Sofia Antipolis (2005), San Miniato (2006), and Pisa
(2007).

Participation in the Summer School assists attendees in understanding how to
address digital preservation and curation challenges within the context of
digital libraries and data archives. In addition, the Summer School offers
participants the opportunity to network with other researchers,
international experts, and practitioners across disciplinary and national
boundaries.

We hope that the audience will be, as it has been in the past, mainly young
researchers and professionals with an interest in the topic of digital
curation and preservation. This one-week intensive school will consist of
nine half-day sessions. Internationally established lecturers will each lead
each session and most will be available through the week for further
discussion. To view the course timetable, please see
http://www.dpc.delos.info/ss08/.

Venue
The Grand Hotel Continental in Tirrenia is located on the fabulous golden
sand beaches about ten kilometres from Pisa with a pine graced nature
reserve nearby and views of the mountains. Tirrenia has frequent public
connections to Pisa itself.  The rooms for lectures and breakout groups
provide an evocative and pleasant atmosphere. Onsite accommodation is
available.

Registration
University students, PhD students and postdoctoral researchers can access a
limited number of DCC, Feltrinelli Foundation, HATII, or DPE sponsored
student bursaries which cover tuition fees, single-occupancy accommodation,

first come, first served policy. Please refer to our bursary terms and
conditions for more details. http://www.dpc.delos.info/ss08/payment.php
