Faculty and students from the University of Washington had more papers accepted at this year’s iConference than any of the more than 50 schools who are members of the iSchools organization.

The conference, to be held in Berlin on March 4 – 7, is the 10th annual gathering of a broad spectrum of scholars and researchers from around the world who share a common concern about critical information issues in contemporary society. Each annual iConference is hosted by a different iSchools member-institution. This is the first time the conference will be held outside of North America.
