Are you looking to deepen your understanding about retaining ownership of your research? Join the Forum for Open Research in MENA (F.O.R.M.) and cOAlition S on the 17th of May at 11am GST for a free one-hour webinar that will examine the importance of rights retention for researchers and highlight methods and solutions to help the wider academic community protect their copyright ownership.

cOAlition S, in collaboration with a number of leading international institutions supporting Open Science, has developed a new Rights Retention Strategy to help authors retain sufficient rights in all their published papers to reuse and share their own work, and not be constrained by restrictive conditions imposed by a publisher. During this workshop, Johan Rooryck, Executive Director of cOAlition S, will discuss some of the key points of this Rights Retention Strategy to help you gain insights into the best approaches and methods to ensure rights retention.

Spaces are limited for the webinar. To save your spot, register now.
