AOASG Open Access Forum – The Researcher’s Perspective | Australian Open Access Support Group

"The Australian Open Access Support Group is pleased to announce its inaugural ‘must attend’ face to face Forum, to be held on the morning of Wednesday 5 November at ACU’s North Sydney Campus. The forum will consist of two morning sessions, one a facilitated discussion featuring researchers from a range of disciplines discussing the benefits and challenges of sharing their work through making it open access and communicating it through social media. The other session will focus on national and international trends in open access as well as advocacy issues, looking at successful approaches. This event will precede the ANDS afternoon of talks featuring Dr Heather Piwowar and is held the day before the CAUL Research Repository Community Days commence. Registration fees will cover costs and morning tea will be provided. Lunch will be provided for those staying for the afternoon ANDS events. Registrations are not yet open, but we will send out notification to the lists as soon as we can. Please note the date, and starting time of 9:00 am (8:30 registration), in your diary for when you are booking your travel to the CAUL research Repository Community Days and/or the ANDS workshop."
