These last 2 weeks I have been busy searching in the web for science 2.0 related conferences all over the world (see my previous post).

After some investigations, I have come to this conclusion, besides science 2.0 annual conferences and science barcamps, more and more scientific gatherings plan sessions about web 2.0, science 2.0 or open-science.

Among others

TELSci2.0, Science 2.0 for Technology Enhanced Learning, a workshop held in Nice, France, end of this month September 29th. The event is supported by the stellar network and organized by member of the K.U.Leuven (Belgium), Open University (UK), KnowCenter (Austria), UJF (France) institutions.

Last February, the AAAS annual meeting had some web 2.0 sessions to their program. According to Bora, they also had / have such sessions at Trieste FEST in Italy - does not exist any more - and at SRBR meetings, Society for Research of Biological Rythms.

Does this mean that the scientific community is more and more open to web 2.0 technologies and definitively adopt science 2.0 tools for their daily work?

Nevertheless, I did not find enough info for meetings organized in Africa, Asia, Latina America and Oceania (Australia). If you read this and you are aware of “web 2.0 scientific related meetings” going on over there, thanks for sharing.

Other than these three annual conferences

January  >  Science Online located at Research Triangle Park, North Carolina USA and organized by @BoraZ.

July        >  Science Foo Camp held on Googleplex, Mountain View, California. Hosted by Nature, O’Reilly and Google.

August  >  Science Online London organised by Nature Network, Mendeley and The Royal Institution.

Do you know others?

Thanks for your reply (a comment here or @tigressse twitter reply).
