Engage on NSF's Public Access Policy

"The White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy this past August issued a memo directing the nation’s major, science-funding agencies, including NSF, to ensure free, immediate, and equitable access to the products of federally-supported research. The required updates to the policy will have direct and lasting impacts on NSF internal and external stakeholders, including researchers, research institutions, scholarly societies, research libraries and the universities they support, and publishers. NSF's Working Group on Public Access is committed to ensuring that the policy it recommends has been informed by active stakeholder engagement.  This is the only way that NSF's updated public access policy can be equitable, sustainable and best serve NSF’s broad and diverse community.   To that end, we will hold a virtual information and listening session at 2:00 PM EST on November 30, 2022.    Participants will be briefed on the history and driving principles of NSF’s public access policy. More importantly, this webinar will serve as a forum for NSF to hear and appreciate what’s on the minds of our stakeholders, and to discuss opportunities and challenges surrounding the update of NSF’s open access policy."
