Dear IFMSA members,
It is with immense pleasure that we open the call for the Small Working Group members for IFMSA Open Access Week 2020 Campaign. International Open Access Week, a global event now entering its thirteenth year, is an opportunity for open access advocates to engage their communities to teach them 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. IFMSA is a strong proponent of Open Access, and as such we will hold in parallel, an IFMSA campaign aiming to reflect medical students’ initiatives and advocacy for Open Access.
Please check the SWG Proposal here:
