| A Chorus+ community session networking chaired by Alexis Joly, Inria. |

This session was organised on Wednesday, September 21th, within (CLEF 2011 conference, ImageCLEF labs) Presentations are now available for download! 8:30 AM -- 10:00 AM Convergence of multidisciplinary research is more and more considered as the next big thing to answer profound challenges of humanity related to health, biodiversity or sustainable energy. The integration of life sciences and computer sciences has a major role to play towards managing and analyzing cross-disciplinary scientific data at a global scale. Whereas scientific data management is definitely considered as a major issue in the database community, it is integrated more slowly in the multimedia community. The goal of this session is therefore to promote information retrieval issues from scientific multimedia data and to encourage exchange between multimedia researchers and scientists from other research fields. We will therefore welcome 4 speakers specialized in inter-disciplinary research and who will cover different topics including earth observation, biodiversity informatics and biomedical informatics.
