Open Access Week 2013

Traditional Open Access Week events were held at the University of Tartu Library on the 24th and 25th of October 2013. An information day took place on the 24th of October, where we, together with the University of Tartu Press, introduced the different means of open access publishing that we offer.

Research Information and Data - open mindset, new opportunities

In addition, the UT Press hosted an open doors day, during which all guests were welcome to visit the UT Press’ rooms to become familiar with their everyday duties.

A seminar and a panel discussion were held in the UT Library conference hall on the 25th of October, where we discussed the following topics:

• What are the European Commission’s and the Estonian research funder's positions on open access? How is open access represented in EC documents?
• How have different universities developed their open access policies and what effect have the policies had?
• Why and how should we make research data open?
• What are the Estonian research funder’s positions on this topic?
• How do today’s open data databases function?

Seminaris ja paneeldiskussioonis osalesid TÜ teadlased ja teaduspoliitika valdkonna esindajad. Väliskülalisteks olid Iryna Kuchma (EIFL OA programmjuht), Ricardo Saraiva (Minho Ülikooli raamatukogu repositooriumi juhataja) ja Pekka Olsbo (Jyväskylä Ülikooli raamatukogu kirjastamise koordinaator).
