International Open Access Week 2023
From to
virtual and campus CRAI
From October 23 to 29, International Open Access Week 2023 is celebrated, an annual initiative to promote open access to the world of academia and research. This year, the theme is "Community or Commercialization" and aims to foster conversation about open science approaches that prioritize the best interests of the public and academic community.
At the URV, 63% of the scientific publications made by researchers in 2022 were open access. That year, the University allocated up to 381,025 euros for the publication of open access articles.
