[OSList] Jasmina Nikolic recognized for opening access and space in Higher Education in Serbia

[Suzanne Daigle]

This "hot of the press", happening right now the the University of
Belgrade,  in Serbia, future host location for WOSonOS.  Truly exciting
news!

Jasmina Nikolic receives an international "Open Access" award for her work
in Education and Research in Serbia.  Accorded the esteemed title of
Archont.

Open Access Week 2013 <http://www.openaccessweek.org/> is a global event,
now in its 7th year, that promotes open access as a new norm in scholarship
and research.

This year's theme is "Open Access: Redefining Impact" and a diverse range
of events are happening around the world this week (October 21 and 27).

Open access (OA) – free, immediate, online access to the results of
scholarly research, and the right to use and re-use those results as you
need – has the power to transform the way research and scientific inquiry
are conducted. It has direct and widespread implications for academia,
medicine, science, industry, and for society as a whole.

This is an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue
to learn about the potential benefits of open access, to share what they’ve
learnt with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation.

Jasmina and an army of students, faculty and others are truly busting the
gates, doing some fabulous education reform work in Serbia and also
inviting the same with other higher education institutions in the European
Union.  I had the opportunity to see some of this first hand last month.
Wonderful to see the opening of space through Open Space and the execution
of work happening with Kanban and Scrum that Jasmina has been inviting. So
much positive and creative energy in a spirit of shared leadership --
passion and responsibility.

Heard about this yesterday and so much fun to be part of this breaking news
story with Jasmina's colleague Jelena Kamaric sending me live photo.
Posted  it just now on Open Space Technology Facebook.

Congrads Jas,

Suzanne
