Stellenbosch University, located in the historical town of Stellenbosch,
approximately 50 km from Cape Town, strives to be Africa's leading
research-intensive university, globally recognised as excellent, inclusive
and innovative where knowledge is advanced in service of society.

 

The Library and Information Service has been playing an active role in the
African and international Open Access community for a number of years and
one of its strategic objectives is to develop and maintain collaborative
relationships with a range of external and internal stakeholders by
advancing local, national and international initiatives with regards to open
scholarship.

 

Having chosen Stellenbosch as the venue, the annual OR Conference continues
its objective to bring practitioners working at the interface of technology
and scholarship together. Participants at OR come from higher education,
government, libraries, archives and museums to share their experiences and
knowledge about repository infrastructure, tools, services, and policies. We
hope you will join us in Stellenbosch in 2020!
