Open Access Week 2019 takes place from 21 to 27 October. EIFL will celebrate by sharing stories about the impact of open access (OA) on the work of researchers and scholars in our partner countries. We’ll also share information about the many campaigns, workshops, exhibitions and seminars that our partners are organizing to celebrate the week.

You can celebrate with us by answering these short questions to tell us your stories, and about your plans for OA Week 2019. Send your answers back to us as soon as possible for sharing during OA Week 2019.

OA Week is an annual, global event established by SPARC to raise awareness about OA and to call for OA to be the norm in scholarship and research. The theme of OA Week 2019 is ‘Open for Whom? Equity in Open Knowledge’.
