BOAI Forum: boaiforum messages

"I am Marta Perez, a PhD Candidate in Social Anthropology at Autonomous University of Madrid. Me and three colleagues at the department are organizing an international workshop on Open Access. The workshop is called 'FAQs about Open Access: The Politics of Publishing in Anthropology'. ↵ It will take place 16-17 October 2014 in Madrid, in MediaLab. The workshop is funded by the Wenner-Gren Foundation (www.wennergren.org), and we have support from our Department and the Madrid Institute of Anthropology. We are currently disseminating the initiative and exploring ways of collaborating with institutions that might be interested in the event. We would like to think about partnerships in order to disseminate information about the conference and to establish collaboration with OA-centered institutions in order to make this workshop as international and as participatory as possible. Also, we are looking for additional financial support for travels and side-events. Has the Boai Forum any call for grants open at the moment or does it plan to open one in the near future? ..."
