Research4Life: Partnership for the Goals

Research4Life offers the opportunity to deliver a powerful publisher legacy in the Sustainability Development Goals. Join us on 22 February at 14.00 GMT for a conversation on how you can get involved to level the playing field across the research ecosystem. 

Research4Life exists to cultivate an inclusive and equitable scholarly communications environment.  Following the Strategic Plan launch, this webinar will explore Research4Life’s vision to 2030 and strategic objectives from user experience to offer diversification. We will also share latest fundraising projects and membership options.

We welcome any publishers and societies engaged or interested in Research4Life, corporate social responsibility, and impacting the Sustainable Development Goals.   

What to expect?  Leaders from across the Partnership will share Research4Life plans and projects with an opportunity to engage in breakout groups focusing on training/capacity development, SDG content development, equity in publishing roles, and research integrity.
