We’re looking to recruit new members to join our Global South Committee for Open Science.
The Global South Committee for Open Science brings together researchers from countries and regions with shared socio-economic and political challenges in the global south, often resulting in limited representation and influence on critical issues in the wider academic publishing landscape. This group plays a crucial role in guiding eLife's efforts to enhance participation in science communication and innovation. It serves as a cornerstone in improving opportunities for Global South researchers and expanding eLife's outreach and support in these regions. We welcome applications from researchers and staff scientists who meet the criteria as stipulated here. Please read before applying.
By submitting your information through this application form you are giving your consent for us to use the data in our applications.

Use this space to tell us why you are enthusiastic to join the Global South Committee for Open Science, and how you would contribute to our work.
Please note that we will only put forward for assessment the first 200 words of any statements.
It would help us to know if you have an experience contributing to other groups - formal or informal - in the sphere of research culture and science communication, so please list here if relevant.
We are committed to forming and empowering communities within eLife that reflect the diversity of the international research communities that we serve. We welcome candidates of all abilities, backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, genders, races and sexual orientations.

Any details you provide here will be viewed only by eLife’s executive staff in the Communities Team to help manage the applications, shortlisting and elections process. It will be deleted no later than three months after the election process is closed.
