OASPA is pleased to announce our next webinar which will focus on the interface between openness and privacy. Open Access is part of a large movement in scholarly research toward openness, often captured in terms such as Open Science, Open Licenses, Open Data, and Open Metadata. The rights of researchers to make their work open are also being championed by funders, such as Coalition S, using the Rights Retention Strategy, for more visit https://www.coalition-s.org/rights-retention-strategy/.

At the same time, in response to the ongoing intrusion of corporate and state interests into people’s private lives, the emphasis on (data) privacy has become more pronounced, for example with the advent of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation.

In this OASPA webinar, we intend to discuss some aspects of this tension between openness and privacy, including what is the role of funders, publishers, universities and libraries in balancing the need for privacy with the demand for openness, and long-term preservation of that openness?

The webinar will be chaired by Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei.

We welcome our speakers: Chris Bulock (University Library of California State University Northridge, USA), Farzaneh Badiei (Digital Medusa, USA), René Mahieu (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium), and Molly van Houweling (University of California, Berkeley, USA).

The panelists will each speak for 6 minutes, and then we will open it up to questions from the audience and have an extended discussion.
