DONATE TO EIFL
In this issue, we share a blog by EIFL’s Iryna Kuchma about how libraries in Ukraine are helping communities cope with the Russian invasion. We’re also partnering in an initiative to support scholarly journals and academic publishers in Ukraine. Our IP Manager, Teresa Hackett, looks forward to the first full meeting of WIPO’s copyright committee in two years. EIFL contributed to development of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science and we’re advancing its implementation in our partner countries. Our new agreement with the Association for Computing Machinery benefits scholars in 25 countries. And, once again, thanks to everyone who donated to our project to sustain ICT training for women and youth through libraries in Uganda. Read about our events, past and present. Enjoy the issue!
