*SPARC and the World Bank to co-host kickoff event for 2014 International
Open Access Week*

On Monday, October 20th, from 3:00 to 4:00pm EDT, SPARC and the World Bank
will co-host the official kickoff event for International Open Access Week
2014 with a reception to follow.  The event will be held at
the headquarters of the World Bank in Washington, DC with a live webcast
for online participation around the world.

The program will focus on this year’s theme of “Generation Open.” Speakers
will discuss the importance of students and early career researchers in the
transition to Open Access and explore how changes in scholarly publishing
affect scholars and researchers at different stages of their careers.

Registration for the in-person event will open in September.  For those
planning to participate virtually, the live stream of the kickoff can serve
as programming for a local event or a watch party.  To receive updates on
Open Access Week 2014, including the SPARC-World Bank Kickoff Event, please

To be held from October 20 – 26, 2014, International Open Access Week is an
opportunity for the academic and research community to continue to learn
about the potential benefits of Open Access, to share what they’ve learned
with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make
Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research.
