thinking</span></a> to cultivate discourse and a solutions-based approach. The goal is to facilitate participants’ abilities to understand and assess which OA strategies might be appropriate for repurposing spends at their own institutions, to engage participants
in exploring insights shared by others about the implications of implementing those strategies, and to support participants in outlining or developing their own action plans for their institution or author community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#222222">As the forum will not include presentations in the traditional sense, but instead will be based around discourse, we are engaging facilitators rather
than speakers to help guide discussions on given OA publishing strategies. Please check the <a href="https://cp2oa18.com/details/facilitators/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0563C1">Facilitators</span></a> page of our website in the coming weeks for

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#222222">This overall information-sharing and discussion-centered format strives to achieve a balance between deeper engagement with the OA strategies and meaningful
opportunities to frame or advance along next steps–including through alignment or partnership with similarly-interested institutions or communities. As we also hope is clear from the <i>Pathways</i> toolkit and our <a href="https://cp2oa18.com/about/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0563C1">About
page</span></a>, the forum will give voice to strategies within all OA approaches, with the understanding that each institution or author community might wish to support a range of strategies and approaches.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
