[IRTalk] Webinar announcement: Open access funders and enablers outside the library: fresh perspectives and lesser-heard voices

[Bernie Folan]

OASPA is excited to announce our first webinar of 2025 will take place
on *Thursday
23 January 2025, 4pm-5pm | 11am-12pm EST.*

Supporting open access (OA), and the transition to OA, needs money within
the system of scholarly publishing to be redirected at a grand scale. We
often talk and think about universities, institutions and libraries as
playing a pivotal role. However, research funders and supporters of various
types can make a substantial difference.

In this session, we hear directly from public and private organisations
about their role in enabling, embracing and engaging with OA. Each speaker
will bring their views on practising and supporting OA research; the
challenges they face when it comes to OA; and the questions they pose along
with solutions they propose, to bolster innovation and help society at
large through open scholarship.
