It is with great pleasure to announce that VIVO 2019 is coming to
Montenegro!

*The School of Medicine at University of Montenegro, Clinical Center of
Montenegro, and the Institute of Public Health of Montenegro* are our hosts
for the VIVO 2019 Conference in the gorgeous capital city of Podgorica
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podgorica>.

*Program Chair for VIVO 2019 is Ruben Verborgh
<https://ruben.verborgh.org/>*, Professor of Semantic Web technology at
Ghent University – IMEC and a research affiliate at the Decentralized
Information Group at MIT. The VIVO community had a chance to hear Professor
Verborgh at the VIVO 2016 Conference when he presented his talk: “The
Future is Federate
<https://figshare.com/articles/The_Future_is_Federated/3680310>d” and lead
a workshop titled: “Linked Data Fragments: Hands-On Publishing and
Querying.” The leadership of the VIVO project was inspired by his
presentations and added the Triple Pattern Fragments (TPF) server to the
VIVO software.
