SUMMARY:FREE UKSG Webinar: Driving progress\, driving impact: practical SDG Action Tips for the Scholarly Communications community
DESCRIPTION:This is a fantastic opportunity to listen to expert speakers with no travelling required. This is a free webinar – Please note that advance registration is required. This webinar will be recorded and all registrants will receive a link to the recording after the session.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday\, July 3\, 2026From 13:00 BST to 14:00 BST \n\n\n\n.. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\nFeedback \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\nBehind every piece of research that drives real-world impact\, whether influencing policy\, shifting understanding\, or sparking action\, there’s a community of people who made that impact possible. As well as researchers\, librarians\, publishers\, information professionals\, and others play a critical role in connecting knowledge to the people and systems that can use it to create change. This role in enabling research impact is far more powerful than it is often recognised. \n\n\n\nThe SDG Publishers Compact Fellows have developed the Top Action Tips to help the scholarly communications community harness that potential. The Tips include many practical\, low-barrier actions for making your research\, or the research you support\, more visible\, more discoverable\, and more impactful – reaching researchers\, educators\, policymakers\, and practitioners who can turn it into real-world change. \n\n\n\nIn this session you’ll get a practical introduction to the Tips\, hear examples of how others are already putting them into practice\, and leave with a ready-to-use toolkit you can pick up straight away. If you have an interest in how to amplify the impact of research outcomes\, and a desire to help drive progress towards the SDGs then this session is for you! \n\n\n\nDisclaimer: As part of our mission to connect the knowledge community and encourage the exchange of ideas\, UKSG hosts discussions on a wide range of topics affecting scholarly communication. The views and opinions expressed by speakers in this session are their own and do not necessarily represent the official position of UKSG.  \n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n. \n\n\n\nGerald Beasley \n\n\n\nIndependent Consultant \n\n\n\n\n\nGerald has written and presented extensively on various topics including the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

I never experienced any technical difficulties. Due to the austerity measures brought by the recent worldwide events the training budget in my institution was frozen\, so the fact that UKSG webinars are free is really a boon too! \nAnonymous\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe UKSG webinar was fantastic – well-organized\, timely\, accessible\, and with an array of presenters that had insight into the topic \nAnonymous\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGreat to squeeze in so much useful knowledge and information without having to go out to a conference. I could enjoy taking it in with a sandwich at my desk! I felt very empowered afterwards. \nEmma Thompson\, Glasgow Caledonian University\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNB: UKSG reserves the right to alter or vary the programme due to events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control without being obliged to refund monies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\nThis is a free webinar – Please note that advance registration is required. \n\n\n\nPlease take a look at our code of conduct \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCancellations \n\n\n\nIf you have already registered and are subsequently unable to attend\, please do not cancel your registration – only active registrations will receive the recording in a follow-up e-mail. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this Event\n\n\n\nPlease help us by letting your colleagues and friends know about our event.

Drawing on projects in microbiology and immunology\, it will showcase how OER can be adapted using H5P activities\, student–staff co-creation\, and generative AI. The session will discuss practical approaches to remixing and extending OER\, as well as challenges related to quality assurance\, accessibility\, sustainability\, and intellectual property. Attendees will gain transferable strategies for transforming open content into engaging learning experiences while maintaining academic and pedagogical oversight. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYing Liu  \n\n\n\nUniversity of Southampton  \n\n\n\nSee Biography\nYing Liu\, PhD\, FHEA\, is a Senior Teaching Fellow in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Southampton and Deputy Assessment Lead for the MSc Allergy programme.
