[Irtalk] IAP - Consultative Forum on Open Access

[Hilton Gibson]

On 29-30 January 2015, NASAC together with the Royal Netherlands Academy of
Arts and Sciences and UNESCO organised a consultative forum on Open Access
entitled "Towards high level interventions for research and development in
Africa". The forum took place in Nairobi, Kenya.

Various European and South American experts and other open access
stakeholders gathered for a two-day consultative forum at the Hilton Hotel
in Nairobi. The aim of the forum was to set the agenda for and create
national action plans encouraging and exploring infrastructure-related
actions that can be set up with multiple partners. The forum resulted in a
report describing the meeting's objectives, the context for Open Access in
Africa, as well as the global perspective and presented a suggestion for
next steps.
