Another free DevCSI event, DevCSI Life Sciences Hackdays, will take place over 6-7 December 2011 in London.
This event is being organized by:
- Developer Community Supporting Innovation Project (DevCSI)
- Semantic Web Applications and Tools for Life Sciences (SWAT4LS)
- Open Knowledge Foundation (OKF, Open Science Working Group)
The event will be suitable for:
- Researchers in the Life Sciences

- Software developers / researchers developing Semantic Web Applications / Tools / Mashups / Visualisations from the Life Sciences and other domains
- Anyone interested in developing and using Open Science tools particularly in the Life Sciences

The event will bring together delegates from the SWAT4LS workshop and tutorials (taking place 8-9 December 2011) and researchers, developers and anyone else interested in the Life Sciences to work together in teams or individually to use and enhance existing Open Science semantic web applications and tools – and possibly develop new ones.
