Prof. Jean-Claude Guédon al Centro NEXA

by J.C. DE MARTIN

Cari tutti, approffitto del messaggio inviato per errore per darvi in realtà un'informazione di interesse potenzialmente generale, ovvero che il prof. Jean-Claude Guédon (a cui era destinato il mio messaggio) è da pochi giorno ospite del Centro NEXA su Internet & Società. Resterà con noi fino a maggio. E' per noi un grande onore e piacere essere stati scelti da uno studioso della statura del prof. Guédon. Il prof. Guédon è, infatti, uno dei massimi esperti internazionali di open access, di copyright, di storia della conoscenza e di Internet e molto altro ancora. Chi di voi verrà ai prossimi incontri del Centro NEXA a Torino, avrà, dunque, occasione di incontrarlo, a partire dal "mercoledì di NEXA" di domani sugli "open data", http://nexa.polito.it/mercoledi-29 un caro saluto. juan carlos
