The Edinburgh 2015 Workshop

Abstract

I am writing this editorial in the sweltering and oppressive heat of Rome whilst my mind is back in beautiful and cool Edinburgh where the EAHIL+ICAHIS+ICLC Workshop was hosted. We were expecting typical dour Scottish weather with plenty of rain and low temperatures instead we were treated to a glorious fresh and sunny week catching many members by surprise.This delightful climate and joyful atmosphere accompanied the EAHIL members through a truly intense and stimulating week, with many workshop sessions (more than 40), meetings, satellite conferences, activities and memorable events. I felt that time flew and before I knew where I was, the workshop was drawing to a close.As you can imagine, with such an abundance of possible contributions to publish and so many people to contact, it was not easy to put together this issue of the journal. I would not have made it without the help of the Editorial Board (EB) members who participated at the Workshop and helped me in collecting the papers: Fiona Brown, Katri Larmo, Oliver Obst and Michelle Wake. Thank you all! I wish also to thank Petra Björk for her work with the KFBIJM website! Two more members have now joined the Editorial Board: Gerhard Bissels (Universitätsbibliothek, Bern) and Letizia Sampaolo (National Institute of Health, Rome).Welcome on board!
