The UP 2022 Open Access Colloquium was held on 26 October as an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, Open Data - Open Science, to share what they’ve learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make Open Access a reality and contribute to the SDGs as a new norm in scholarship and research.
Some of the key topics that were discussed by the speakers included:
- South African Open Science: Policy perspectives for HEIs
- Using technology to promote Open Science: the case of the South African SDG Hub
- Open Science transformation
- Data Communities: Data Sharing from the Ground Up
- Why do Research Visibility and Impact Matter to the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences at UP?
This hybrid session was hosted at the Javett Art Centre and online. The event was a huge success, with 70 participants that joined online, and 27 in person.
