OpenCon 2017: Advancing Open Access, Open Education, and Open Data - Enago Academy

"OpenCon 2017 is organized by the Right to Research Coalition and SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) and will be held in Berlin from November 11-13. Since the cost to attend OpenCon is generally covered by scholarships, attendees have to apply to attend the conference. The objective of OpenCon is to enable attendees and early career academic professionals to advance open systems for research and education. The program will feature two days of keynotes, panels, and interactive workshops. The final day will allow participants to put what they have learned into action. Attendees will begin to advance open access by crafting new campaigns, starting to create new resources, and initiating collaborations that will strengthen the OpenCon community."
