Open Access Colloquium - 22 October, 09:00 - 13:10
Theme: Community over Commercialisation
This year's theme continues from last year: "Community Over Commercialisation," highlighting the importance of prioritizing the public good over profit in producing and disseminating knowledge.
Purpose of this colloquium:
International Open Access Week is a global, community-driven week that promotes the benefits of open access and related topics to the academic research community and scholarship.
The event aims to foster discussions that explore how open access can empower communities, improve educational outcomes, and facilitate equitable access to information. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, we seek to generate actionable ideas that leverage open science and open data initiatives to benefit society. Through shared knowledge and collaboration, this event will underscore the importance of making research freely available and accessible, ultimately advocating for a more inclusive and community-focused approach to knowledge dissemination.
