OSMI is pleased to become a Strategic Partner of the Forum for Open Research in MENA (FORM), bringing together two international communities committed to advancing responsible, transparent, and inclusive approaches to Open Science.
The Forum for Open Research in MENA (FORM) is a non-profit membership organisation supporting the advancement of Open Science policies and practices in research communities and institutions across the Arab region. FORM is an independent project of the Knowledge E Foundation, (a community interest company).
This new Strategic Partnership with FORM enables OSMI to integrate its international efforts with the growing Open Science movement across the Middle East and North Africa. Through cooperation, the partnership will advance discussions on tracking Open Science progress in regionally relevant ways, without losing sight of global best practices.
OSMI looks forward to working with FORM and to creating opportunities for perspectives from the MENA research community to contribute to wider international conversations around Open Science monitoring.
