Event Description

On Monday, October 20^th, from 3:00 to 4:00pm EDT, SPARC and the World Bank will co-host the official kickoff event for International Open Access Week 2014 with a reception to follow. The event will be held at the headquarters of the World Bank in Washington, DC with a live webcast for online participation around the world.

The program will focus on this year’s theme of “Generation Open.” Speakers will discuss the importance of students and early career researchers in the transition to Open Access and explore how changes in scholarly publishing affect scholars and researchers at different stages of their careers.

Registration for the in-person event will open in September. For those planning to participate virtually, the live stream of the kickoff can serve as programming for a local event or a watch party.

"A free webcast and LiveBlog of the panel discussion will be available at http://live.worldbank.org." I also called SPARC and am waiting to hear back from them.

Comment by Tracie Frederick on October 8, 2014 at 5:59am: Rhonda, when I emailed openaccessweek.org to get the URL for the livefeed to publicize it, I was told to register at http://sparc.arl.org/events/oaweek2014/webcast, and it would be sent the day before the event. Hope this helps.
