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.<br><br>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. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Full details can be found on the <a href="https://www.oaspa.org/events/open-access-funders-and-enablers-outside-the-library-fresh-perspectives-and-lesser-heard-voices/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">latest blog post</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>Please <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9EQP2vRSRASg6mKOQJWTtQ" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">join us live</a> for this free online seminar.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Please share this registration link with all those you think may be interested - <a href="https://bit.ly/registration-jan25" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/registration-jan25</a> </div><div><div><br>We look forward to seeing you. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best wishes, </div><div dir="auto">Bernie </div><div><br>Bernie Folan</div></div><div dir="auto">Communications, Engagement and Outreach Manager</div><div dir="auto">OASPA, Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association<br></div></div>
