<P><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>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 </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>context of international moves to create open
access to published </FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>research.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>The topics to be discussed will concern heads
of academic departments, deans, directors of research and other senior members
of universities. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Further information and the booking form are
available at: </FONT></P>
