The 2024 Annual Forum offered a series of carefully tailored presentations and panels addressing key themes and topics related to the advancement of Open Science policies and practices in research institutions and research communities throughout the Arab world. We were honoured to have the Qatar National Library as our Host Partner for this event, and to have the continued support and funding from the Knowledge E Foundation.

This year’s conference theme was: Transforming Knowledge Into Action. We invited librarians, researchers, policy makers, higher-education institutions to join us and work together towards a more open Arab world.
