After several months of discussion, consultation, drafting and re-drafting, The Hague Declaration on Knowledge Discovery in the Digital Age is nearly ready to be released.

The final Declaration will be officially launched in Brussels, at a special event to be held at the offices of Science Europe on 6 May 2015.

Paul Ayris of University College London will introduce the Declaration and a panel of invited experts will help to contextualise it, exploring its potential influence and discussing the importance of its statements on knowledge discovery for the fields of scholarly research, publishing, data curation, and for SMEs that use text and data mining in their work.

Following the launch, the Declaration will be openly accessible to all, accepting signatures from individuals and organisations who wish to support its principles. Look out for updates on this site in the coming weeks.
