GAF 2025 Outreach 03

The “Enhancing Open Science Adoption in the MENA Region” project, led by AFLI in collaboration with the Arab States Research and Education Network (ASREN), aims to empower research administrators and academic librarians across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) with the skills and knowledge to implement Open Science practices. Through targeted training on DOIs, metadata standards, and Open Science principles, the project seeks to improve research visibility, foster collaboration, and create a sustainable Community of Practice. By addressing regional challenges and leveraging existing networks, this initiative will enhance the discoverability of MENA research outputs, cultivate a culture of transparency and innovation, and contribute to the global Open Science movement.
