How much more will they be cited? H ow many of your research results will be reproduced when the related softw are and datasets are openly available? In the past few months, the ACM Cou ncil has reaffirmed thrice its intention to open access to all ACM publica tions and related research artifacts in the ACM Digital Library after 1-1- 2026. \nTrue to its mission, which calls for "fostering the open exchange of information", ACM demonstrates its commitment to democratization of kno wledge, transparency, and accountability. Having the researcher-author in mind while aiming to achieve sustainability of the Digital Library, ACM ha s introduced ACM Open. It is an innovative open publishing model that allo ws (clusters of) institutions or even whole countries to pay a lump sum fo r papers published by authors affiliated with them, instead of authors pay ing individually per paper. \nThis session will explain the details of ACM Open and the changes it brings to publishing and disseminating research r esults through the ACM DL and answer any questions about it. It will cast this in the general context of Open Science, a new paradigm for navigating the entire research lifecycle in all sciences, which ACM intends to help our community to explore. This session will also highlight some other stra tegic ACM initiatives aiming at improving the environment of computing sci entists and professionals as well as the general public in an ever-changin g world.\n\nInterest Area: Arts & Design, Gaming & Interactive, New Techno logies, Production & Animation, Research & Education\n\nRecording: Not Liv estreamed, Not Recorded\n\nKeyword: Education, Ethics and Society, Graphic s Systems Architecture, Scientific Visualization\n\nRegistration Category: Full Conference, Experience\n\n END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
