[Simultaneous interpretation in Spanish and French will be available]

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.

* Why is this so significant?
* How can open access contribute to the goal of eliminating poverty?
* How does the new policy impact the Bank's researchers and authors?
* How will the OKR benefit users of Bank knowledge, in particular those in
developing countries?

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.
