Outcomes and recommendations of GRL2020 Asia

GRL2020 is a vibrant community that is focusing on top-level challenges facing the global research library of the future with the ultimate goal of creating a knowledge infrastructure that most effectively serves the needs and leverages the competences of domain specialists, librarians and computer scientists. While the challenges are manifold, GRL2020 provides a unique opportunity to harness the expertise that exists on a global level, to define an agenda that prioritises the challenges ahead, to champion the importance of skills development and education, and to enlarge the community through a Call for Action defined during GRL2020 Asia, which was co-hosted by Microsoft Research and Academia Sinica. The hosts, programme committee and organisers would like to thank all the participants for sharing their expertise and experiences and for enabling effective knowledge exchange. Full details of the participants are provided at the end of this Report. Position Papers and Workshop outcomes are available at www.grl2020.net.
