‘Open for All’ is the theme of the 16th International Conference on Open Repositories (OR2021), which will provide a platform to explore and reflect on the ways in which repositories enable openness for all. 

Iryna Kuchma, EIFL Open Access Programme Manager, is one of the programme co-chairs, with Liz Krznarich, DataCite, and Leila Sterman, Montana State University.

Registration is free, the conference will take place across multiple time-zones, and the organizers are inviting contributions to the programme. The deadline for contributions, in the form of proposals, is 8 February. Proposals may focus on the overall theme, ‘Open for All’, or sub-themes on the organizational or practical / technical topics related to digital repositories. There is a wide range of formats for proposals, including presentations, panels, posters, workshops and tutorials.
