The discussion will be introduced by Florence Piron and led by Bastien Guerry and someone from Africa/Haïti.
The onsite moderator will first introduce the general topic, then say a few words on each participant. She will then explain that the session is also live online and that participants to the onsite session can raise questions at any time, if this is okay with the speakers. She will then start the discussion among speakers and keep a balanced timing amont them and interactions with the onsite and online audience.
Open Access is generally perceived as a way to share knowledge for free, and consequently, as a chance for developing countries to "catch up" with the rest of the world in terms of innovation and research. Is it really so? Or does Open Access has also some indesirable effects for developing countries, like preventing them to select their own areas of interest, to build their researches on their own values, or to foster their own views on what "innovation" means?
We will share a framapad.org link, an IRC channel and a Twitter/Mastodon hashtag. The online moderator will monitor these channel and report questions and reactions live. The framapad notes will then be used as a draft for a collaborative report of the session.
