<font face="sans-serif">The World Bank will be adopting an Open Access Policy as of July 1. In addition, the Bank recently launched the World Bank Open Knowledge Repository and became the first major international organization to adopt a set of copyright licenses from Creative Commons. As a result, a wealth of Bank research and knowledge products are now freely available to anyone in the world for use, re-use, and sharing.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">* Why is this so significant?</font><br>
<font face="sans-serif">* How can open access contribute to the goal of eliminating poverty? </font><br>
<font face="sans-serif">* How does the new policy impact the Bank's researchers and authors? </font><br>
<font face="sans-serif">* How will the OKR benefit users of Bank knowledge, in particular those in developing countries?</font><br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Join us at the World Bank or online for a lively conversation about these and other aspects of open access to research and its potential for development progress.</font><br>
