Knowledge Sharing: Chile, South America, and the World

You are invited to join us for a one-day workshop to discuss the current and future states of knowledge sharing and scholarly communication.  We will explore the Chilean context of creating and communicating research and scholarship, with the goal of understanding the relationships between local practices, innovations, and challenges and the recommendations and assumptions embedded in various initiatives to create a more open and egalitarian system knowledge sharing.

Researchers, students, librarians, and technologists interested in learning about and addressing issues related to access to information, scholarly production and publishing, and scientific communication are encouraged to attend.  This workshop is intended to contribute to the conversation about how a more open system of knowledge can be built for and by researchers in Chile, South America, and other global communities. We will follow the “unconference”  format and the attendees will decide on the workshop’s agenda.

The workshop will be held in Spanish and it is free of charge. The organization will provide certificates of attendance.
