In line with the 2025 International Open Access Week theme, "Who Owns Our Knowledge?“, the NMU Library is organising an engaging programme titled: Owning Your Identity: One Researcher at a Time”. It is designed to help researchers understand and take charge of their scholarly identity in a digital and open knowledge environment.

The event will feature experienced professionals who will facilitate interactive sessions on building and managing researcher profiles, enhancing visibility through Open Access platforms, protecting intellectual identity, and leveraging global scholarly tools to increase impact.

The Library intends to create awareness ahead of the event through its social media platforms, using flyers, reels, and short features. Throughout the week, we will align our activities with the global programme by:

Monday & Tuesday: Sharing insights from the global Open Access Week activities on our social media handles.

Wednesday: Hosting our flagship programme “Owning Your Identity: One Researcher at a Time!” across our two campuses’ libraries.

Thursday & Friday: Joining the global conversation by amplifying highlights and resources from Open Access Week.

Saturday: Sharing a recap of our activities on all social media handles.
