Hi dScribe team,

University of Cape Town is hosting the annual Open Access Africa conference in November. Last year, KNUST hosted this conference and I was able to attend. It's wonderful to see two institutions from the African Health OER Network as hosting institutions. If you're able to go, I strongly recommend it.

Dear Kathleen Ludewig Omollo,

BioMed Central is delighted to announce that the 3rd annual Open Access Africa conference will be held at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, on 4 – 5 November 2012. We are writing to invite you to register your interest in attending this free event.

The conference aims to bring together researchers, librarians, university administrators, funders and other decision-makers to discuss the benefits of open access to research in an African context, from the perspective of both researchers seeking to globally communicate their work, as well as readers seeking to access information. Conference themes will include advocating open access, funding open access and capacity building within research and journal publishing.

Space for Open Access Africa is extremely limited, and BioMed Central is keen for as many people as possible to attend the event, so please do register your interest as soon as possible or alternatively email oaaf...@biomedcentral.com stating your interest to attend.

Once you have submitted your registration for Open Access Africa 2012, BioMed Central will contact you at a later date if a conference place is available to you, and provide further information on the conference program and confirmed speakers.

We hope to see you in South Africa in November.

Kind regards,

BioMed Central
