The Open UBC Working Group is a great way to share and learn from others on the UBC campus and beyond.

The Open UBC Working Group, which is comprised of faculty, students, and staff, has been meeting regularly to advise, communicate, and partner on the development of resources and strategiesLinks to an external site. for supporting open scholarship at UBC.

Collectively, the Open UBC Working Group is a place to discuss, share, and develop advocacy strategies for open scholarship at UBC.  In addition to serving as a place of community for those interested in various areas of open, the working group reviews and approves applications to the OER Rapid Innovation Grant Program and works closely with representatives from the Library, CTLT and the AMS to operationalize institutional approaches to open scholarship.

Flexibility is a major benefit of the working group. Whether you are interested in actively contributing to discussions, agendas, and projects, or you choose to engage on the periphery, the working group is welcome to all levels of participation. Meetings are held on the last Monday of every month. A meeting agenda will be sent out to the listserv.
