#### Exploring the Potential Merger of DSpace and DSpace-CRIS (Q+A Session)
In October 2024, DSpace Governance **announced its intent to explore a possible merger of DSpace and DSpace-CRIS**. Since then, the **Strategy Planning Group** and **Technology Planning Group** have been actively assessing how the two platforms could come together.
Join us for this **interactive Q &A session** where members of the Planning Groups will share their findings to date and provide space for the DSpace(-CRIS) community to ask questions, raise concerns, and discuss the future of the platforms.
**Panelists:** Andrea Bollini (4Science), Lieven Droogmans (Atmire), Pascal-Nicolas Becker (The Library Code), Ianthe Sutherland (University of Edinburgh), Tim Donohue (Lyrasis), Holger Lenz (Lyrasis)
