Backgound

The 8th DELPH-IN summit will be held from Monday, July 2, to Friday, July 6, 2012, in Sofia, Bulgaria. It will follow the by now traditional structure, of three days of plenary activities (Monday to Wednesday), followed by two days of sub-group activities. Our DELPH-IN colleagues Petya (Sofia University and IICT-BAS) and Kiril (IICT-BAS), will offer local arrangements.

More information about the venue and programme will be collected here incrementally, starting in early April.

The venue will be at the Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" The Sofia University.
