[GOAL] Event - 23 June at Cambridge - 'Working Towards an Open, Research Future' (Richard Poynder)

Mon Jun 6 13:19:54 BST 2016

Hi Richard,

The event has been organised by Hindawi which might explain the 
publisher focus. Cambridge Union is a student union and it is expected 
that the target audience will be PhD students primarily and possibly 
some undergraduates (although the timing of it means many will have left 
for the year after exams and graduation).

I will be able to report back once it has happened but my understanding 
is that the panel discussion will be interactive with the audience.

Danny

I am also not sure how the voice of the researcher (for whom open access is surely most pertinent) will be represented here. Are researchers to be viewed as passive recipients of open access, or active agents?

> The challenges of Open Access. What are the obstacles, annoyances and hazards for institutions in making their research output openly accessible? How has the landscape changed over the years, from a ?nice to have? option put forward by more activist members of the research community, to an imperative supported by major funder. What steps need to be taken to ensure that, going forward, individual researchers are able to meet accessibility criteria and don?t fall foul of these new guidelines?
