Last year, FSCI attendees shared what they found to be the appeal and value of their experience and how it uniquely distinguishes itself from other similar events.
- “Interdisciplinary with a strong and inclusive community”
- “I appreciated the diversity of participants, both in terms of academic background and demographics.”
- “The atmosphere is challenging but welcoming, and the international attendees help provide a broader view of the challenges and approaches to scholarly communication.”
- “The focus on scholarly communication in all of its aspects – research, teaching, technology, publishing, policy, activism and theory.”
- “I was blown away by the brilliant minds of both instructors and attendees alike.
- “I had a fantastic experience at FSCI2019. It was very immersive and I came away with a much richer understanding of scholarly communication.”
