OpenUBC_Program [pdf]
International Open Access Week is just around the corner, and the Open UBC Week planning committee has lined up an exciting array of speakers to celebrate the occasion. Highlights include:
- Peter Binfield, former managing editor of PLoS ONE and co-founder of the up-and-coming PeerJ
- Paul Stacey, senior project manager at Creative Commons
- Margaret Munro on the muzzling of government scientists
- an open robotics and 3D printing demonstration
- a range of experts on open education and flexible learning, including UBC Library’s Erin Fields!
On behalf of the planning committee, I just want to formally invite all of you to come out and enjoy some (or all!) of these fascinating sessions. The event will begin on the morning of Tuesday October 22nd and conclude the following afternoon, and all sessions will be held in the Dodson room in IKBLC. The full schedule is available online, and a PDF copy is attached for your convenience.
We’d also appreciate your help with promoting the event, so please spread the word far and wide. A promotional poster is attached, in case you’d like to share it over email or social media, or print off copies to post around campus and elsewhere.
In addition to our plans here in Vancouver, our colleagues in the Okanagan have organized their own schedule of events as well, so please do check out the many exciting sessions on offer at UBCO! Last but not least, many thanks go out to our main sponsors, IKBLC and COPPUL, whose generous support will enable us to live webcast both keynote speakers and archive the rest of the program for posterity.
Thanks in advance for your support, and we hope to see you all at the sessions in October! Please direct any questions you might have to the Open UBC planning committee at open-ubc@interchange.ubc.ca. Happy Friday, and have a wonderful weekend!
