Community-led open scholarship advancing the public good

Panel discussion

Oct. 24, 2 - 3:30 p.m. | via Zoom

Advancing Community-Led Open Infrastructure

Register now for this free event

A candid conversation about approaches to open scholarship: which prioritize the best interests of the public and the academic community—and which do not.

Our panel of scholars, representing both local and global perspectives, will engage in a lively conversation about the importance of community control of knowledge sharing systems and the costs of entrenching publicly-funded research activities in profit-seeking business models.
