Dear All

We are delighted to announce that OKF is collaborating with the OpenUCT 
Initiative at the University of Cape Town in an International 
Development Research Centre funded project to develop a southern led 
research agenda for open science for development.

We hope to use this as an opportunity not only to explore research into 
open science but also to really push community building efforts in the 
global south and identify a strong network of open science advocates and 
practitioners - maybe setting up some new local open science groups 
along the way!

You can read more in out project proposal:

A small group met in London last week to set the ground work for a 
larger workshop in *Cape Town 11-13 September 2013* and the results of 
that meeting will be available online shortly.

We hope you are as excited about this opportunity as we are and in the 
spirit of the exercise we will be making both the process and outcomes 
as open as possible. Therefore, if you would like to apply to 
participate in the Cape Town meeting please send us a *brief* half page 
introduction to yourself including answers to the following questions:

  * Why is this project of interest?

  * What expertise and experience do you bring?

  * What would you like to see come out of this project?

Preference will be given to participants from developing countries in 
order to further the aims of the project and full funding will be provided.

There is a short deadline of *24 July 2013* so please spread this 
invitation through your networks, particularly contacts you might have 
in the global south. If selected, we will organise travel and flights as 
soon as possible.

Best wishes

Jenny
