HINARI/AGORA/OARE

20 May 2009, 12:30 - 13:00
ITU Headquarters, Room A
 

  • Three programmes – HINARI, AGORA and OARE – form Research4Life provide developing countries with free or low cost access to academic and professional peer-reviewed content online. The Research4Life programmes constitute a public-private partnership between WHO, FAO, UNEP, Cornell and Yale Universities, more than 130 science publishers led by the International Association of STM Publishers, and technology partner Microsoft. The partnership’s goal is to contribute to the attainment of six of the UN’s eight Millennium Development Goals, by reducing the gap in scientific knowledge between industrialized countries and the developing world.

  • This will be an interactive presentation, where the audience can take a virtual walk through a 'have not and have' experience of what it is like to be in a scientist in a developing country, the challenges of accessing and affording the latest scientific information, and how innovative partnerships, such as Research4Life is making this access and affordability happen.
