29 October 2026 – Free online meeting
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
#CHORUSForumThe global research ecosystem is in a period of accelerated policy reform and geopolitical realignment. From evolving federal research mandates in the United States to shifting funding priorities in the European Union and rising tensions affecting international collaboration, we are seeing a profound reshaping of how knowledge is funded, discovered, and disseminated.This webinar will explore the practical implications of these developments for researchers, scholarly societies, libraries, and research institutions, with a focus on examining emerging mandates, research security frameworks, public access compliance, artificial intelligence governance, and the financial sustainability of publishing models. The discussion will focus on strategic responses: how stakeholders can mitigate risk, maintain global collaboration, and ensure equitable access to knowledge in an increasingly complex environment.
