International Open Access Week
Join us for White Rose ReproducibiliTea and more events celebrating open access approaches to research.
International Open Access Week begins on Monday 21 October and this year’s theme is “It matters how we open knowledge: Building structural equity”.
To celebrate, we’ve joined forces with our White Rose colleagues to offer a series of events from Tuesday 26 October to Thursday 28 October.
These events will explore and discuss open and reproducible research practices taking place at the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York, whilst drawing on themes of collaboration and this year’s Open Access Week theme.
The White Rose Universities are each committed to fostering a culture of open research amongst their academic communities, based on the principle that any aspect of the research cycle can be shared freely and made available for reuse by anyone in the world. These events are aimed primarily at researchers from all three institutions and will showcase different approaches taken across a variety of disciplines and at different career stages.
All events are free to attend and further details and registration links can be found below:
