<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333">In today’s world, access to knowledge by all is viewed by some as a fundamental freedom and human right. In our societies, open knowledge for all can enable sustainable development
and growth on many levels. How well do repositories support knowledge in the service of society? How well do they enable local knowledge sharing and support not only academic use, but also use in education and practice?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333">OR2020 will provide an opportunity to explore and reflect on the ways repositories enable openness for all. We hope that this discussion will give the participants new insights
and inspiration, which will help them to play a key role in developing, supporting and sharing an open agenda and open tools for research and scholarship.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
