Research Knowledge Network, a Success!
The
Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) is
a program of Canada's universities, recently-incorporated
as
a not-for-profit
organization to continue the work of the Canadian National
Site Licensing
Project (CNSLP). CRKN held its inaugural Annual
General Meeting (AGM), April
22-23, 2004, at the Courtyard by Marriott in Toronto. [Invitation]
The well-attended AGM provided an opportunity for existing
members
of CNSLP and
prospective
members of CRKN to review and celebrate accomplishments,
explore issues and challenges, participate
in decision-making, and provide direction to CRKN's new Board
of Directors.
