Bringing together leading international experts and key regional stakeholders, the Annual Forum provides an arena for librarians, researchers, government policy makers, universities and international experts to discuss and debate key themes and issues relating to the advancement of Open Research across the Arab world. The Forum is held in a different Arab State each year, to enable all researchers, librarians, and Open Science champions to have the opportunity to attend in person (as well as online). This year we’re partnering with the Qatar National Library to bring you the The 3rd Annual Forum in Doha, Qatar, under the theme “Transforming Knowledge Into Action”. This year’s forum aims to address the practical needs of the region’s Open Science movement by offering actionable insights, support, and guidance to attendees looking to develop and implement Open Science policies and practices, whether through grassroots initiatives or national policy.
