Exciting news over at our sister blog Of Schemes and Memes today: tickets for Science Online London 2011 are now available! For those of you who haven’t been to a SOLO meeting before, a couple of FAQs liberally filched from Of Schemes and Memes:

What is Science Online London?

Science Online London (SoLo) is an event dedicated to exploring the ways in which the Web has transformed scientific research and communication. Although we can’t guarantee it won’t rain, one thing we can guarantee is a programme full of energising science-inspired activities.

Organised by nature.com and Digital Science, the conference will present a range of lively workshops, stimulating lectures and engaging debates, as well as talks with internationally acclaimed scientists and journalists including Michael Nielsen, Rosie Redfield and Jonathan Eisen. You can find out more about the programme and what to expect here.

How can I get a ticket?

Registration for Science Online London 2011 has officially opened. The first batch of tickets are now available on our Eventbrite page. To give those who are travelling to attend or who are on limited budgets the chance to obtain a discounted ticket, we’ll be releasing the first 50 tickets for £50. Once these spaces have sold out, the remaining tickets will be £75 each. Tickets include breakfast, tea/coffee breaks and lunch for both days of the conference.

The conference will be held 2-3rd September at the British Library: for more information about all of this, including venue, line-ups and funding to attend, see the full announcement and the official SOLO2011 website.
