From: Subbiah Arunachalam <subbiahiisc@gmail.com> Sent: 08 June 2022 23:39 OASPA's next webinar is entitled Normalizing Open Research practices via grassroots community-building and will take place on Wednesday, June 29. Full information can be found on this post.<https://oaspa.org/webinar-normalizing-open-research-practices-via-grassroots-community-building/>. The webinar will focus on the ways in which researchers and scholars are normalizing Open Research practices via grassroots community-building. We will hear from speakers from different regions who will relate what has worked in their specific communities, quick wins and slow wins, and what they recommend for other members of the community (whether other researchers or publishers and librarians). The webinar will be chaired by Dan Morgan who will quickly frame open research practices and how they can be influenced by both top-down policy and grassroots, bottom-up community building. We welcome our panellists: Etienne Roesch who will present a national network approach with the UK Reproducibility Network, Caleb Kibet will bring in perspectives from bioinformatics and Kenya and Anita Eerland will consider university-based community-building, and experience with a scholarly society committed to openness and improving research practices. The panellists will each speak for 10-15 minutes, and then we will open it up to questions from the audience and discussion.
