Dear Sridhar,

Further to our earlier emails about this year’s Annual Forum for Open Research (taking place 21-24 October in Doha, in partnership with the Qatar National Library), I wanted to let you know that we have made online access free for all delegates.

With the ongoing financial and political difficulties faced by many across the region, we have decided it is important that the event can be accessed by everyone and the valuable discussions taking place can be shared globally. In addition, we have listened to our community, and your many requests for more affordable access options. Online registration will therefore be free for all delegates who wish to join virtually (though we hope many of our network will still decide to join in person in Doha). I hope you will share this information with friends, students and colleagues across your network.

In addition, I wanted to let you know that we have further expanded our programme to include a high-impact exploration of the open science advancements made across the region, with a special opening roundtable discussion from key regional stakeholders including the leaders of the Association of Arab Universities, the Arab Scientific Research and Education Network, the Africa Reproducibility Network and the Arab Institute of Knowledge Management.

Moreover, we are hugely honoured that this year’s Annual Forum will be taking place under the Patronage of His Excellency Dr Hamad Al Kuwari, State Minister of Qatar with the rank of Deputy Prime-Minister and President of Qatar National Library.

I do hope you will all be able to join us. Register here: https://forumforopenresearch.com/registration/

Best wishes

Emily
