Open Access promises global access to scholarly information. But around the world, the approaches to Open Access and the challenges and opportunities it brings are not the same—and, too often, Open Access discussions focus on just one geographical region or sector. This Chef’s panel brings together speakers from India, Cameroon and Mexico, representing perspectives from across research, libraries, publishing, and open initiatives. These speakers will share their insights from their own countries and experiences. They will also answer questions on what they have learnt and what is needed for Open Access worldwide to be implemented fairly and effectively. This webinar is for those wanting to deepen their knowledge of Open Access around the world. The webinar should help participants understand more about how and why different approaches dominate in different regions, what the challenges and opportunities are around the world, and how this might better inform Open Access worldwide. || Moderator: Siân Harris, INASP | Speakers: Arianna Becerril-García, Vrushali Dandawate, Thomas Hervé Mboa Nkoudou
