Global Access to UK Research: Removing the barriers
20 November 2003
Universities UK, Woburn House, London

The JISC wishes to invite individuals in the further and higher education
sectors who are interested in the dissemination of the results of UK
research to attend a one-day seminar at Universities UK, Woburn Place,
London on Thursday 20 November. The distinguished guest speakers - who
include Mark Walport of the Wellcome Trust and Jean-Claude Guedon of the
University of Montreal - will describe current initiatives to remove the
barriers to research publications. The barriers of price and licensing
restrictions are hindering access to the results of academic research
world-wide, and the seminar will place UK initiatives in the

context of international moves to create open access to published
research.

The topics to be discussed will concern heads of academic departments,
deans, directors of research and other senior members of universities.
