Not only databases, but also issues concerning the construction of distributed and multimedia databases, as well as safety of both the bases and tool aspects will be the main topics of the 6th edition of INFOBAZY Conference, held from 5th to 7th September in Gdańsk.

In particular, further visions of development projects, such as Virtual Library of Science, as well as the dissemination of information and the presentation of current achievements in the creation and sharing of databases for science and society, including the central and regional administration.

The 6th edition of the Conference will focus on applications and services necessary for the development of the Information Society, in particular on the European projects, which significantly support, financially and thematically, ”Development of Scientific IT Infrastructure 2007-2013”, including the creation of databases for science. In accordance with the will expressed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education INFOBAZY 2011 Conference will be a forum for presenting the status of these projects, and will result in a number of joint initiatives and proposals for new research projects and implementation.
