The Oxford e-Social Science project (OeSS) aims to understand how e-Research projects negotiate various social, ethical, legal and organisational forces and constraints, in order to help researchers avoid these problems when building scientific collaborations and tools for research. The project's work was recently published (if you would like an offprint, contact enquiries@oii.ox.ac.uk and provide your name and postal address).

There will also be a number of events in the coming months drawing on the research of OeSS:

8 September in Oxford: Michael Nielsen on his forthcoming book with Princeton University Press, entitled Reinventing Discovery: The New Era of Networked Science.

24 November in Oxford or London: a showcase event highlighting some of the conclusions of the OeSS project that can inform and stimulate debate over the ethical, legal and institutional implications for the future of digital research across all disciplines.
