Upcoming Talk at Dubai Cares Pavilion: Promoting a More Knowledgeable Society through Research
Date: 24th November 2021
Time: 3:00pm – 4:00pm
Place: Dubai Cares Pavilion – RewirED Talks
In the age of information, many individuals and professionals are still unable to access high-quality research especially if they are not affiliated with a university or an academic institution. Traditional subscriptions are very costly, and many might not be able to afford them. Other factors like language barriers might also place some people at a disadvantage when it comes to accessing and reading research.
Through this talk, and in partnership with Dubai Cares, we hope to inform, educate, and raise awareness about the benefits of opening research and knowledge to make it more inclusive and offer access to a wider audience. Our experts will discuss how limited access to high-quality research can contribute to social and educational inequality, and how innovative and affordable solutions can bridge the gap by making research more accessible.
Our Experts:
- Kamran Kardan – CEO and Founder of Knowledge E
- Samantha Miles – Head of Training and Consulting at Knowledge E
The discussion will address how non-academic professionals can gain access to research, current subscription models and cost, publisher collections, and current societal challenges like the spread of false information and the need for informed action. The talk will also touch on the many benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration, inclusive research, and the features of impactful modern libraries.
Education specialists, researchers, librarians, and related professions will especially find this discussion enriching. Attendance is open to the public.
Free Expo passes are available to delegates wishing to attend this event, reach out to us at info@knowledgee.com before November 21st to claim your free pass.
