LyrOpen Fair 2025: Making Connections Visible This session will focus on open research and scholarly ecosystem from South America and Africa. Initiatives, such as SciELO in Brazil, and The Africa PID Alliance in Kenya, have connected research beyond borders. Our guest speakers will share their work in this space as well as their perspectives on why open matters in the scholarly ecosystem. Attendees will broaden their knowledge and understanding of Open initiatives from local context to the global landscape.
