Community Development Series
Our Community Development Series is a key part of our strategy, designed to provide insights and learning opportunities for all stakeholders looking to engage with Open Science at an institutional level, including funding groups and government ministries, libraries and universities, non-profit solutions providers, and all members of the region’s wider research communities.
These free events are held on a monthly basis, online, in collaboration with non-profit organisations and open source solutions providers. The goal is to offer practical guidance on a broad array of issues relating to the implementation of Open Science policies and practices in scholarly ecosystems, from leading global experts.
We have partnered with major Open Science organisations to bring you these ongoing events, including the International Science Council, PKP, ORCiD, cOAlition S, DOAJ, and more.
To get involved or propose an idea for the Community Development Series, please send an email to contact@forumforopen.org
