Open Access Week is a global event, now in its eight year. This year’s
theme of “Open for Collaboration” looks at how Open Access can drive
collaboration and advance research. You can find out more about Open Access by checking out our “What is Open Access?” blog and exploring the links.
How can you get involved in Open Access Week?
The
Open Access movement is gaining momentum every year, with increasing
support from research funding agencies, academic institutions,
researchers, scientists, teachers, students and members of the
general public. Getting involved in Open Access Week is a great way to
keep this momentum moving forward.
