Crossref is a membership organisation, and it’s the global community of members that creates the [Research Nexus](https://www.crossref.org/documentation/research-nexus/) together. Meeting our community locally is a highlight and an important learning experience. This year, we started by connecting with a growing community in Accra, Ghana - our first in-person event in the country included in [our GEM program](https://www.crossref.org/gem/). From 14 members in 2023 to 31 in 2025, our community in Ghana is blooming. * * * This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at [https://www.crossref.org/blog/reflections-from-crossref-accra-2025-strengthening-open-science-and-partnerships-in-ghana](https://www.crossref.org/blog/reflections-from-crossref-accra-2025-strengthening-open-science-and-partnerships-in-ghana) ---
