    To enhance the Indico event-management system

    • Program Technology
    • Sub-program Scientific Collaboration
    • Investigator Pedro Ferreira

    Indico is an event management platform similar in purpose and function to the more well-known Whova and Eventbrite but importantly different in two respects. First, it is run out of CERN and was developed explicitly to facilitate academic meetings, conferences, and events. Second, it is open source. Together, these make it an attractive candidate for innovating in the area of science or research event management software. Funds from this grant support a series of extensions and improvements to the Indico platform, including conference personalization for attendees and integration with other open science platforms. Grant funds will also support a series of outreach and dissemination activities to grow awareness and foster adoption of the platform.
