Open Access Week introduces opportunities of using and publishing scholarly research information

From October 21 to 27, the annual Open Access Week will take place, with the goal of increasing the use and publication of open access scholarly research information worldwide. During this week, information desks will be available at the university library, as well as in the libraries of the Estonian University of Life Sciences and Taltech, where readers can get useful information about the opportunities and services related to open science. Additionally, there will be various trainings and seminars, both online and in person.

This year's theme is "Community over Commercialization," which emphasizes the interests of the public and the academic community in the use of open scientific information. More information about Open Access Week can be found on the Open Access website.

Open Access Week is an international event that takes place during the third week of October simultaneously in different parts of the world. The goal of the week is to introduce and promote the principles of open access and bring science closer to the general public. The university library has been organizing Open Access Week since 2010.
