From 10 to 16 February, the University of Tartu will have a thematic week for Women in Science, aiming to underline the role of women and girls in science, break gender stereotypes and encourage women to pursue a career in science. During the week, a discussion on ensuring equal opportunities is held, and the university’s gender statistics are presented. It is also possible to take a curator’s tour of the exhibition in the university’s museum and see a travelling exhibition about astronomers.
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.
