Welcome to GL2020!
We are pleased to announce the Twenty-Second International Conference on Grey Literature - GL2020: "Applications of Grey Literature for Science and Society".
It will be co-managed by the Central CNR Library "G. Marconi" and the Library of the CNR Area in Pisa.
The consequences of the pandemic imposed us significant changes to the conference organization as originally planned.
We therefore decided to turn GL2020, originally scheduled on location in Rome, to a virtual conference.
We plan to hold the conference as a one-day event, on November 19, 2020.
As for the moment, we maintain the same dates for the submission of papers and posters, as well as the deadline for the registration.
- Participation will be free of charge.
- Authors of papers only are required to pay a fee.
- Further details are available here.
At this time we are still defining the technical aspects for the participation to the event.
We will update the website accordingly, providing further details as soon as they are available.
We are grateful for your understanding, and we are certain that it will represent an opportunity to organize a successful virtual international event.
On behalf of the organizational committee,
Silvia Giannini
