This year the CGIAR Platform for Big Data for Agriculture is running a campaign to participate in Open Access Week, and we are inviting you to participate with us!

Please join us to discuss opening up data for agriculture innovation during our Q&A Twitter Chat next Friday, 26 October 3-4pm CET.

When: 26 October, 3:00 – 4:00pm CET

Led by: @CGIAR_Data

Hashtag: #OAWeekChat

The Twitter chat will follow a question and answer style. @CGIAR_Data will host the chat and ask one question every 10 minutes, allowing for 10 minutes of responses and discussions in between each question. Replies, follow up questions and multiple-tweet answers are encouraged.

Each question will be numbered, and responses should include the question number to indicate which question you are responding to, and the chat hashtags. See this example on format.

Question examples:

Q1: The data ecosystem for global food security is both complex and incomplete. How can open access knowledge and data help transform agriculture?

Q5: How can open access help overcome barriers and democratize data?

 We hope to see you there!
