Lighton Phiri [1] announcing the 27th International Symposium on Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETD 2024) [2] at the 1st Open Science Communities Development in Sub-Saharan Africa Region Forum held in Lusaka Zambia between February 29 2024 and March 1 2024.

## About ETD 2024
Join us, along with global leaders, from Wednesday, October 30th to Friday, November 1st, 2024 at Avani Resort, in Livingstone, Zambia. Learn about innovative approaches that make use of Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs), including the use of modern-day Artificial Intelligence techniques such as Large Language Models & exploration of advances that will result in increased visibility of ETDs at a Global Scale.

The theme of ETD 2024 is "ETD Visibility at a Global Scale". Significant strides have been made in mainstreaming of ETDs, with a number of national and international initiatives initiated, however, the visibility of ETDs in other parts of the world is still low. In addition, the potential of ETDs beyond research and academia presents opportunities to enable more access to the knowledge contained within ETDs.

ETD 2024 is organised by the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations [3] and; will be hosted by The University of Zambia [4] and co-hosted by the Higher Education Authority [5] and Zambia Research and Education Network [6].
