DONATE TO EIFL
In this issue, guest speakers at EIFL’s General Assembly blog about playing a board game that can help you to learn about making publishing choices, and about Transformative Agreements, which are accelerating the shift to open access. We report on the passing of a new law in Serbia - the first in the Balkans to recognize open science. We share some of the inspiring ideas for transforming African public libraries that our group of young African public library innovators brought home from their learning experience in Denmark. And we report on the outcomes of a three-year project that has led to a dramatic increase in the amount of research published in open access in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. You can see all of our events. We hope you enjoy the issue!
