INTERNATIONAL OPEN ACCESS WEEK : WHAT IS IT ?

Open Access Week is an invaluable opportunity to connect the global momentum for open knowledge sharing with the advancement of policy change and the importance of social issues that affect people around the world. The event is celebrated by individuals, institutions, and organizations from around the world, and its organization is guided by a global advisory committee.

Chosen by the Open Access Week Advisory Committee, this year's theme is an opportunity to come together, take action, and raise awareness about how open access enables climate justice. This year's focus on climate justice aims to encourage connection and collaboration between the climate movement and the international open community. Sharing knowledge is a right, and addressing the climate crisis requires the rapid exchange of knowledge across geographic, economic and disciplinary boundaries.
