The COST Academy will organize a webinar on Open Access on Thursday, 29 September 2022, between 10:00-11:30 CET. The webinar is open to all COST Action participants.

Open access to research publications is becoming increasingly important for researchers as different initiatives and funders introduce measures to encourage the ‘openness’ to research outputs. The new Horizon Europe funding program is also applying mandatory Open Access to the program publications. The COST Academy will organize an introductory webinar presented by cOAlition S to raise awareness of the COST Action participants on open access, the different types of open access, and the main principles that cOAlition S funders are applying to ensure Open Access to the research they fund.

Wikifarmer and the Global Plant Council would like to invite you to the online, free scientists-farmers panel with the topic “Climate-Smart Agriculture”.

Four scientists, working on staple crops of huge economical and food safety importance, will present the latest climate-smart agriculture ideas to farmers. Each expert will focus on one particular staple crop: wheat, corn, potato, and rice.
