OPERAS Reviewathon of the Special Interest Groups White Papers: Workshop Series
Special Interest Groups are the place where new initiatives, new discussions take place and emerge. They work collaboratively, share information, watch, and prepare projects. The SIGs have recently published White Papers on their topics. Check here to learn more about the Living Book.
OPERAS organized a series of workshops to continue this conversation. The sessions will take place in three non-consecutive days during lunch time.
During the sessions, the participants:

- will learn how to get involved with the collaborative post review process – the Reviewathon.
The workshops will take place in three days at lunch time. All session times are Central European Time (CET).
