Scholarly Communications: Open Access Week 2016

Open Access Week is a global event providing the academic and research community with an opportunity to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, to share what they’ve learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation. The theme this year is "Open in Action." In that spirit, we will be featuring a panel of stakeholders in art and design publishing to talk about why they decided to make their work open. We will also feature OCADU researchers and innovators who are doing interesting work with open data. Join us for this one-day event exploring recent developments in open access.
