What is Open Access Week?

Open Access Week, an international event held each year for the last 6 years, is an opportunity for the scientific community to learn about and discuss the stakes and the potential of open access.

Who can participate?

University instructors, researchers, students and anyone who wants to publish their results so that they can be read and shared.

You, too, can participate in Open Access Week and contribute to opening access to scientific knowledge!
