Let’s celebrate International Open Access Week together. Join us in the yearly Open Access week by attending one of our webinars.
26th October – Free open access
Researchers and research audiences alike are considering the challenges and opportunities of open access publishing. To this end we like present free, sustainable and open alternatives to the traditional publishing route. This webinar is aimed at researchers and focuses on different possibilities to open up scholarly publishing at no costs for researchers without violating copyright.
Find out how to:
- negotiate your rights as an author with publishers

- use repositories as digital platforms for free, immediate and permanent access to research.
