Iryna Kuchma
Although OR2020 is postponed until May 31 – June 3rd 2021, we are happy to invite you
to join a series of free virtual meetings on June 1-4, 2020 that will offer a brief update from the repository community and highlight current discussions, innovations and recent advancements. We aim to create
space for learning and connection during the week that OR2020 would have run. This will include one main session per day over Zoom for a duration of ~2 hours and a number of workshops . Presentations will be recorded and uploaded to Zenodo
Open Repositories community and YouTube. Registration is free! And we will also have a series of conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #OpenRepos2020.
We are pleased to announce that Kathleen Shearer, Executive Director of the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR), will present a Keynote on June 1st at 3PM UTC titled: “Reframing the conversation: applying the principles of diversity, equity
and inclusion to scholarly communications”. We hope you will join us for this engaging presentation and the discussion to follow. Please see the
program for more details on additional sessions and workshops.
The main meeting will take place on June 1-4, 2020 starting at 3PM UTC each day. Sessions will be recorded for later viewing.
Participants are asked to register for each day and for each session they wish to attend. Registration and a schedule may be found at https://or2020.sun.ac.za/conference-programme/
We hope to see you online in June and in Stellenbosch in
2021.
Thanks and best wishes,
Leila Sterman, Iryna Kuchma, Lazarus Matizirofa, and Dr Daisy Selematsela
