DSpace Lab Days is a monthly series of online meetings organised by PCG Academia as part of the Polish DSpace User Group. The format is flexible: from lectures and expert panels, through case studies and Q&A sessions, to practical hands-on workshops. The meetings are primarily addressed to members of the national group but are open to all interested parties – repository administrators, digital librarians, developers and project managers.
From edition #5, the series is conducted in English and open to participants worldwide.
