Open Access and Research Conference 2013

The adoption of national and institutional open access mandates in recent years is evidence of the global transition towards more broad-reaching, efficient and inclusive systems of scholarly communication.

The conference theme Discovery, Impact and Innovation examines this transition and looks ahead, to how these emerging systems can maximise research impact and help realise the full benefits of public research worldwide.

The event is an opportunity to take stock of recent developments in Open Access and to discuss the strategic advantages these bring to the research sector moving forward.
