[IRTalk] Registration open for OASPA webinar "Privacy and Openness"

[Bernie Folan]

OASPA is pleased to announce our next webinar, taking place on November 4,
which will focus on the interface between openness and privacy.

Open Access is part of a large movement in scholarly research toward
openness, often captured in terms such as Open Science, Open Licenses, Open
Data, and Open Metadata. The rights of researchers to make their work open
are also being championed by funders, such as  Coalition S, using the Rights
Retention Strategy <https://www.coalition-s.org/rights-retention-strategy/>.
At the same time, in response to the ongoing intrusion of corporate and
state interests into people’s private lives, the emphasis on (data) privacy
has become more pronounced, for example with the advent of the EU’s General
Data Protection Regulation.

In this OASPA webinar, we intend to discuss some aspects of this tension
between openness and privacy. Please find full information about the free
webinar, the registration link and our speakers on the OASPA blog post
<https://oaspa.org/webinar-openness-and-privacy/>

The webinar will be chaired by *Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei*. Our speakers
will be *Chris Bulock*, *Farzaneh Badiei*, *René Mahieu*, and *Molly Van
Houweling.*

The panellists will each speak for 6 minutes, and then we will open it up
to questions from the audience and have an extended discussion.

Please join us live for this free webinar and contribute to the discussion
