“Open Access is a growing international movement that uses the Internet to throw open the locked doors that once hid knowledge. It encourages the unrestricted sharing of research results with everyone, everywhere, for the advancement and enjoyment of science and society.”
To celebrate the world’s first Open Access Week, October 19-23, UBC is programming a series of events and distinguished speakers from our community who will be describing how they participate in the open access movement.
More information and schedule of events here.
