The paradigms of “Open Science” and “Open Access” are key concepts in the agenda of the European Research Area and, therefore, they represent a commitment (and, in many ways, a challenge) both for individual researchers and for the institutions that are called to implement them. In this seminar (i) we will discuss how the University of Cagliari is moving in the broad area of "Open Science/Access" and (ii) we will deal with its underlying concepts and ongoing practices through the presentation of actual show-cases. Furthermore, the current placement of our University in this framework will be as well presented in relation to its commitments within the European Digital UniverCity (EDUC) Alliance and in the perspective of the Human Resources Strategy for Research (HRS4R) we are about to open.
