Introduction to the Research4Life Programme

Research4Life is a multi-partner initiative that aims to reduce the knowledge gap between industrialized countries and lower and middle-income countries by offering either completely free, or very low-cost, access to a huge collection of authoritative content from the world’s leading publishers. Any non-profit, national institution in “Group A” can register for free access. More information on the eligibility criteria can be found here: https://www.research4life.org/access/eligibility/.

This virtual meeting will explain how Research4Life operates and how eligible organizations can take advantage of this invaluable resource to level the playing field for researchers, policy-makers, educators and practitioners in their countries. If you are interested, please join the meeting via https://zoom.us/j/92665119704?pwd=UldTU0huTXZMcjY0MkpURXM1Wkk0QT09 (no registration required).
