The Tenth International Conference on Open Repositories (
http://www.or2015.net/) , OR2015, will take place on June 8-11, 2015 in
Indianapolis (Indiana, USA). The organizers are pleased to invite you to
apply to the 2015 Scholarship Programme.

The Open Repositories Steering Committee is delighted to announce that for
OR2015 we will again be running our Scholarship Programme. This programme
will enable us to provide support for a small number of full registered
places for the 2015 conference in Indianapolis. The programme is open to
librarians, repository managers, developers, and researchers in digital
libraries and related fields. Applicants submitting a paper for the
conference will be given priority consideration for funding (please provide
details of your submission in the application form).

Two questions in the application form ask 'What is it about Open
Repositories that interests you' and 'What do you expect to gain from
attending the conference?' You may wish to prepare answers to these before
completing the form, as the responses to these will be critical to the
success of your application.

Please note: the Scholarship provides funding only for a full conference
registration (including dinner and the poster reception). It does not cover
other costs such as accommodation, travel, and subsistence. It is
anticipated that the applicant's home institution will provide financial
support to supplement the OR Scholarship Award.

The deadline for applications is 30 January 2015.

LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD: OPEN REPOSITORIES AT THE CROSSROADS

OR2015 is the tenth OR conference, and this year's overarching theme
reflects that milestone: Looking Back/Moving Forward: Open Repositories at
the Crossroads. It is an opportunity to reflect on and to celebrate the
transformative changes in repositories, scholarly communication, and
research data over the last decade. More critically however, it will also
help to ensure that open repositories continue to play a key role in
supporting, shaping, and sharing those changes and an open agenda for
research and scholarship.

OR2015 will provide an opportunity to explore the demands and roles now
expected of both repositories and the staff who develop, support, and
manage them - and to prepare them for the challenges of the next decade. We
welcome proposals on this theme, but also on the theoretical, practical,
organizational, or administrative topics related to digital repositories.
