The first Summer School was a great success. It was attended by 60
participants from 15 different countries. Ninety per cent of the
participants indicated that they would recommend the Summer School to
colleagues in the field.

The Summer School is organized by Ticer (Tilburg Innovation Centre for
Electronic Resources) in cooperation with Tilburg University and
