This year’s Open Access Week theme is “Open For Climate Justice.” Through this theme we seek to encourage connection and collaboration among the climate movement and the international open community.
Together Open Access Week, SPARC and Creative Commons are hosting a pre-OA Week event featuring experts in climate change and climate justice to help the community prepare for Open Access Week. This event will provide background information, resources, and a jam session to brainstorm OA Week events and advocacy ideas. Speakers Tiffany Chalmers, South South Norther; Emelia Williams, Open Environmental Data Project and Monica Granados, Open Climate Campaign will discuss climate justice and open access. Come prepared with ideas for events and advocacy initiatives to celebrate this year’s Open Access Week.<br aria-hidden=”true” />Please join us this Thursday, September 29 at 9:00 Pacific / 16:00 UTC for the conversation event.
