MEET THE TEAMS

The semifinalist round of the Elsevier Grand Challenge was held 15 December, 2008 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston.  It featured representatives of the nine semi-finalist teams who gave demonstrations of their tools and then discussed its application with the panel of judges and their fellow contestants. The discussion and collaborations were so successful that we've launched the meeting as the first of a series of Knowledge Enhancement in Publishing conferences.   

Teams indicated with a star have made it to the finalist round!
