[Irtalk] UNESCO Regional Consultations on Open Access | United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

[Hilton Gibson]

UNESCO Member States recommend elevating the context of Open Access to
Scientific Research and Scholarly Communication within the framework of
post 2015 development agenda and suggest strengthening the understanding of
the human rights framework for Open Access.
Despite rapidly advancing technological developments, fully open and
accessible research and innovation has not been put into widespread
practice until today. Appreciating the continuous persistence of the
”knowledge challenge”, UNESCO’s Open Access programme is designed to foster
the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to make
peer-reviewed research accessible to all.
