Open Access Week 2023 – join our events or share your research article for a chance to win $250!
Open Access Week is held annually to inspire global momentum toward the open sharing of knowledge to address important social issues. This year's Open Access Week theme is: Community over commercialisation.
The theme encourages us to have a conversation about which approaches to open scholarship prioritise the best interests of the public and the academic community.
The University Library has organised the following activities to celebrate Open Access Week in 2023.
