We are excited to announce that Khalifa University will be our Host Partner for the 2023 Annual Forum!

Based in Abu Dhabi, the Khalifa University of Science and Technology is one of the top-ranked universities in the region (and first in the UAE), and a leading champion of open science in the region. We are honoured to be able to partner with them for this year’s conference, and look forward to hosting an exciting series of panels, thought provoking keynotes, and useful workshops over the 23^rd and 24^th of October (to align with the international Open Access Week movement).

The event will be held at two locations, the Rotana Hotel on Sadiyaat Island, and at Khalifa University, and we are especially grateful to Khalifa University for generously offering to host part of the event in their state-of-the-art research facilities, and also host the drinks reception on the evening of the 23^rd of October.

We hope you will all come and join us in October! (The draft programme is available here).
