UND has made significant strides in promoting and raising awareness of Open Access, and supporting UND researchers who want to publish Open Access. We've secured multiple publishing agreements, which allow our authors to publish their work as open access in over 3,000 journals; we've launched a grant to support UND researchers, and have surpassed 5 million downloads of UND work on our institutional repository, UND Scholarly Commons. This reception will celebrate these gains and provide opportunities for UND researchers to engage in conversations with likeminded colleagues on continuing to grow the Open Access community at UND.
