Hello The Royal Society now has transformative open access agreements with over 170 institutions. This means that thousands of researchers can publish open access with us at no cost to them. You can use this list to check if your researchers are eligible. Our Read & Publish deals are based on a tailored price for each institution that reflects access and publishing costs. There’s still time to sign an agreement for 2021, so if you’d like to know your price, please get in touch. Kind regards The Royal Society Publishing Team |  | | You and the planet: air | On 16 February, our panel of experts discuss the options and opportunities to improve air quality and take urgent action, without which we will continue to see increasing global temperatures, extreme weather, damage to biodiversity and loss of human life.
We will be collecting audience questions in advance so if you have anything you would like to ask on the topic, please submit your questions to help guide the conversation on the night. | | | The event is being hosted in partnership with Manchester Science Festival and will also be streamed as a part of NI Science Festival. |
