How-to-Advocacy  

An Open Chat Series by the OPERAS SIG “Advocacy”

Do the humanities and social sciences need (more) advocacy? 

Why is advocacy crucial for forging open scholarly communication?

What can you do for more openness in the humanities and social sciences (SSH)?

OPERAS Advocacy Special Interest Group opens up Open Chat Series. With experts in advocacy and communications, researchers, publishers and other members of the SSH community we will:

• discuss current trends in open scholarly communication, 

• look for innovative solutions and tools for publishers, researchers and scholarly institutions,

• share best practices in open digital scholarly publications. 

On 27.01.2023 at 11 CET we will continue our Open Chat Series "How-to-Advocacy" and start a chat with Lucy Barnes from the Open Access Book Network. Together with our guest speaker and the audience we will discuss the advocacy goals and challenges for the SSH community - and how to advocate for innovative Open Access book publishing.

The discussion will be moderated by the SIG Advocacy.

To join the Open Chat Series you need to leave your email in the registration form. We will send you the link to the webinar. 

The event will be conducted via Zoom. You will receive an invite with a Zoom link on the day of the event.
