Empowering Communities: How Outreach Creates Open-Access Resources

Abstract

This session explores how community outreach can become a powerful engine for creating open-access resources. We will highlight real-world examples from a Cybersecurity Center, where outreach activities have been transformed into freely available materials for the global community. Outreach is a win-win scenario. It offers immediate and tangible benefits to the local community while simultaneously building a valuable, free repository of resources. By sharing our successful initiatives, we provide a blueprint for others to learn from, adapt, and implement similar programs in their own environments. Join us to discover how empowering your community can also enrich the open-access landscape
