SUMMARY:Forum: Open access to research and knowledge - are all winners
 ?
DESCRIPTION:Access to scientific journals is fundamental for researche
 rs from all parts of the world. Electronic journals available online h
 ave made a great difference for many research institutions and their s
 cientists in low income countries and neglected research areas. The co
 st of access to many of these electronic journals remains prohibitive 
 for some low income countries and research institutions. Several schem
 es have been developed to assist access, while another approach for al
 lowing access of research results to a greater audience has been the o
 pen access movement.\n\nA forum organised by the Swedish National Comm
 ission for UNESCO in co-operation with the Swedish International Devel
 opment Cooperation Agency (Sida) will address open access in a global 
 perspective and discuss the possible role of the UN in pursuing this. 
 During the morning session, entitled Open Access – Global Perspectiv
 es, a panel of international experts will debate issues related to ope
 n access to research results and data, with a perspective on how this 
 affects researchers and research performed and published in low income
  countries. With the input from this session, the forum will then cont
 inue after lunch under the title Open Access – Swedish Perspectives,
  discussing the consequences in Sweden and how Sweden is able to contr
 ibute to the global development.\n\nFor more information visit http://
