STM Association to host Innovations Seminar 2013

The International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers’ (STM) will host the Innovations Seminar 2013 at the Congress Centre, Great Russell Street, London, on December 4. This annual London-event brings together the industry’s most established thinkers and bright up-and-coming future stars to give attendees an insight into the hottest innovations and vital technological trends and developments which will define STM publishing for years to come.

Science and research is rapidly evolving into e-science and e-research, and this in turn is sparking a continuous flow of new e-publishing evolutions. The 2013 Innovations seminar will bring the latest developments from these frontiers including: new methods of enriching academic information; develop semantic technologies which add context and meaning; data mining, bringing new patterns and new relationships; and entity linking which helps forge connections to deeper data and related information elsewhere on the web or in the cloud.

This year’s event has brought together an impressive list of enticing speakers to examine the research data revolution, information augmentation and information analytics. The afternoon is dedicated to e-Science and we-Science and includes an exciting tour through the Zooniverse, one of the most successful manifestations of citizen science.
