Open access Student Event : Be an agent of change!
Have you heard ever of ‘open access’? No?
Well, this is your chance to learn all about this global movement that allows you to have access to academic publications and get a pass on your assignments and master thesis!
As a student, you will be consulting hundreds, maybe thousands of works during your formation. Thanks to the library, you have free access to a number of scholarly journals. But this comes with a cost, a cost that is increasing every year.
‘Open access’ is all about free global sharing of peer reviewed articles in scholarly journals. ‘Open access’ literature is digital, online, free of charge and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. Learn all about the green and golden route, open educational resources, types of licensing and so much more and during a 2h interactive session.
Be part of a global movement striving for free and unrestricted online access to research outputs.
