Secret key topic of the #CRIS2024 seems to be funding. How to fund #opensource software, how to fund #openinfrastructures, how to enable a diverse ecosystem for #OpenResearchInformation.
2nd big topic: #AI. There seems to be a consensus that we should not throw AI at everything. Oftentimes other approaches are as effective, but much less power and resource hungry and without all the ethical problems, for example ML for subject indexing (#Annif).
