THE 2011 EPT AWARD FOR INDIVIDUALS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES WORKING FOR OA*
*Open Access Week arrives again this October, and is a time to celebrate all
that has been achieved in the previous twelve months. The Electronic
Publishing Trust is a long standing advocate of OA and the difference it can
make. As our contribution to this year’s OA Week, we are launching an annual
international award to recognise the impact that individuals can make. It is
to be hoped that such international recognition will acknowledge the very
real efforts being made by many individuals throughout the world, and will
accelerate the development of models for achieving the open and free
transfer of essential information for the progress of research.*
*ANNOUNCEMENT :** *The Electronic Publishing Trust* is pleased to announce
that it is launching an annual award for individuals in developing and
transition countries** who have made significant advances to the cause of
open access and the free exchange of research findings.
Nominations are sought for the first such award. Individuals or
organisations may nominate themselves or others, sending a statement using
the attached form to the chair of the EPT Board, (d.law@strath.ac.uk)
outlining the achievements of the individual. Please find the nominations
form below.
Nominations should be received by *30th November 2011*. Selection of a
winner will be made by a panel of three EPT Board Members which will be
chaired by Dr Alma Swan

a well-known figure in Open Access advocacy.
The result will be announced in January 2012 and it is intended that a
presentation will be made at a location convenient to the winner. The
prizewinner will be publicly recognised through the presentation of a
certificate and an engraved award. It is also hoped to have a “fringe” event
at future OA meetings to celebrate the work of the winner.
*The Electronic Publishing Trust for Development (EPT) was established in
1996 to facilitate open access to the world's scholarly literature and to
support the electronic publication of reviewed bioscience journals from
countries experiencing difficulties with traditional publication.
