Summary:
"During the first day of Open Access Africa, Eve Gray (Honorary Research Associate, University of Cape Town), launched the week of discussions with a bang by unequivocally linking Open Access to human rights during her presentation, “The Rapidly-Changing Policy Environment: Implications for Publishers and Universities.” She referenced theUnited Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, arguing that Open Access is a moral mandate, as it provides access to scientific knowledge and cultural knowledge."
