As preparations for the 3rd Annual Forum for Open Research (2024) start to gather pace – with just over 150 days to go until the Forum starts – we want to welcome and thank our first sponsors for their generous support for the event and their endorsement of our mission.

Our first Platinum sponsor is IEEE “the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity”. IEEE has been supporting researchers across the region for many years and we are extremely grateful for their continued support for the Annual Forum.

Our first Gold sponsor is Taylor & Francis, an open publisher “committed to the highest quality scholarly publishing”. Taylor & Francis publishes a wide range of work from across the region, and was one of our earliest supporters.

Our Lanyard sponsor is Gruyter Brill, a leading academic publishing house. This will be Gruyter Brill’s first Annual Forum, and we are hugely excited that they have agreed to join us this year.

Bringing together leading international experts and key regional stakeholders, the Annual Forum for Open Research in MENA supports the Arab world’s transition towards more accessible, sustainable and inclusive research and education models.
