Monica Granados
Creative Commons Open Climate Campaign Manager
Ottawa, ON
Dr. Monica Granados has a PhD in ecology from McGill University. While working on her PhD, Monica discovered that incentives in academia promote practices that make knowledge less accessible. Since then, Monica has devoted her career to working in the open science space in pursuit of making knowledge more equitable and accessible. As a Senior Policy Advisor at Environment and Climate Change Canada I provided subject matter expertise and supported the delivery of open science in the Government of Canada. Monica is now working at Creative Commons on the Open Climate Campaign promoting open access of climate and biodiversity research. As a member of the Leadership Team at PREreview I work to make peer review more open and diverse. She is also on the Board of Directors of the Canadian Open Data Society promoting open data in Canada and alumna of the Frictonless Data Fellowship.
