This month’s virtual conference focuses on the practices and policies needed to support expanded access and sharing of scholarship. What do we need in order to build a research environment where streamlined digital access is the norm? Addressing technical debt is one challenge, but what are some of the others? What approaches and innovations have the past two years proven to be most effective for furthering the expansion of knowledge? What can stakeholders envision for the future? 

Among others, confirmed speakers include Kaveh Bazargan, Director, River Valley Technologies, Barry Bealer, Consultant, Stephanie Dawson, CEO, Science Open, Heather Kotula, Director of Marketing, Access Innovations; Mark Hahnel, CEO and Founder, Figshare. 

This virtual conference on Building Access, Openness, and Sharing takes place from 12.00 - 4.00pm Eastern Daylight Time (US/Canada) on Wednesday, September 28.

Registration for Building Access, Openness, and Sharing is now open, with discounts for NISO members, students, and retirees. Organizational registration includes unlimited attendees from your organization.

We very much hope you can join us for this virtual conference!
