The Annual Forum for Open Research is the flagship event of the Forum for Open Research in MENA (FORM). FORM is a non-profit initiative supporting the advancement of Open Science policies and practices in research institutions and research communities throughout the Arab world, by facilitating the exchange of actionable insights and the development of practical policies. The Annual Forum takes place in a different Arab state each year and provides a valuable arena for librarians, researchers, government policy makers, universities and international experts to discuss and debate key themes and issues relating to the development and implementation of open science policies and practices in Arab research communities.
This year’s Annual Forum will take place in the UAE, in partnership with the American University of Sharjah. We are honoured to be partnering with this institution, a regional leader for research and education. Aligning with the UAE’s Year of Community, this year’s theme is Becoming Open: Capacity Building and Community Collaboration in the Arab World. We hope you will join us from the 20th-23rd of October, as we work together towards a more open and knowledgeable Arab world.
