Instead, dynamic, interactive, nonlinear change is unfolding.  Together, we can unerstand this change, and harness the power of collaboration to solve humanity's most difficult problems.  </font></font></font></p> <p><font> </font></p> <p style="font-size: x-small;"><font><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">The Open Science Summit is the only event to consider what happens throughout the entire innovation chain as reform in one area influences the prospects in others. In the best case scenario, a virtuous circle of mutually reinforcing shifts toward transparency and collaboration could unleash hitherto untapped reserves of human ingenuity.</font></font></font></p> <p><font> </font></p> <p style="font-size: x-small;"><font><br /></font></p> <p><font> </font></p> <p style="font-size: x-small;"><font><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">Join us, you'll love it!</font></font></font></p> <p><font> </font></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> ------------------------------ Register Online: ------------------------------ More information and online registration are available here: http://opensciencesummit2011.eventbrite.com/?ref=enivte&invite=MTIxMDUyMy9wMnAtZm91bmRhdGlvbkBsaXN0cy5vdXJwcm9qZWN0Lm9yZy8x ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Collect event fees online with Eventbrite http://www.eventbrite.com
