Dear members and partners of COAR,
As the holiday season approaches, we'd like to take this opportunity to look back to an eventful year for COAR Executive Board, office, members and partners. In 2012 COAR could extend its outreach to even more regions of the world and we are happy to have new members from South America, Turkey, Canada, Lithuania and a new partnership with euroCRIS.
From October on the association has a new executive board, presented by Norbert Lossau (chair), Carmen-Gloria Labbé (Co-chair) and Márta Virágos (treasurer) and Executive Director presented by Alicia Lopez Medina. It was our great pleasure to have Sugita Shigeki in the former Executive Board and we like to thank him for his extraordinary work.
Other
highlights this year have been the efforts of our Working
Groups, which for example released a preliminary report for
sustainable best practices for populating repositories, the
preliminary report “State of Open Access Repository
Interoperability” or presented the first COAR webinar
successfully. Not least the build-up of an Open Access
Agreements and Licensing Task Force or the beginning work of
the Repository Observatory are showing the ambition of our
members and partners.
On behalf of the COAR Executive Board, Executive Director and COAR Office we would like to thank you for all your support and commitment during the last year and look forward to a fruitful year 2013. We hope to see you all at the next COAR Annual Meeting in Istanbul.
COAR Executive Board, Executive Director and COAR Office wish you Happy Holidays and a prosperous New Year!
