I wanted to share this pointer from Neil Beagrie to the presentations and report from a recent Budapest conference on the economics of archiving scientific data. These offer a very timely look at some of the experience and thinking in Europe on these challenges.

The Alliance for Permanent Access has just completed its annual conference (Budapest, 4 November) : this year the theme was the economics of archiving scientific data.
The Alliance's international membership includes strategic partners from the research community, libraries, publishers, and digital preservation organisations. Participants called upon the Alliance to act as an umbrella organisation to secure sustainable funding for permanent access in Europe.
A comprehensive conference report (complete with photographs
conveying the atmosphere!), together with the powerpoint
presentations, abstracts and authors' biographies is now available
online at
