Description

The LIBSENSE Open Science Policy Development workshops are a series of regional
workshops bringing together decision-makers in African higher education settings whose
remit covers research and innovation within their institutions. These workshops are part of
LIBSENSE activities in the AfricaConnect 3 programme1. The case studies in this compendium have been solicited from LIBSENSE partners throughout Africa. They represent a broad range of institutional open access/open science policy development initiatives from the perspectives of those involved in developing and implementing them.
