Dear colleagues,

Registration is now open for the 2022 Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) Conference: Strength in Community! Join us virtually from October 3-7 for exciting and thought-provoking conversations about the strength of community and the future of digital scholarship in Canada. We are also holding a pre-conference virtual Intro to CRKN session on September 28 for those who want to learn more about our organization and mandate in advance of the conversations at the conference.

Please note that CRKN is also holding members-only, in-person conference events in November in Montreal. If your institution is a CRKN member and would like more information about attending these sessions, please visit the conference site or contact Nazia Bundhoo at nbundhoo@crkn.ca.
