Semana del Acceso Abierto 2025 Perú
Este es un evento anual que se desarrolla con el propósito común de promover prácticas de ciencia abierta, como el acceso abierto, en la comunidad académica peruana.
Autorsko pravo u politikama i zahtjevima otvorene znanosti u hrvatskim znanstvenim ustanovama
Autori - znanstvenici, nastavnici i istraživači - u hrvatskim znanstvenim i visokoškolskim ustanovama djeluju u složenom prostoru u kojem se pred njih stavljaju različiti kriteriji, pravila i ciljevi vezani uz osiguravanje otvorenog pristupa, dijeljenje podataka, obrazovnih sadržaja i drugih oblika u kojima se pojavljuje njihovo znanje. Pravila i kriterije mogu postavljati zakonodavci (hrvatski i europski), financijeri istraživanja i različita tijela koja upravljaju znanstvenim prostorom, a sve je veći i broj znanstvenih ustanova u Hrvatskoj koje donose svoje vlastite politike otvorene znanosti. Sadržaj, obuhvat i pristup određenim temama u tim se politikama ponekad znatno razlikuju, iako upravo pravilna formulacija može biti presudna za kasniji uspjeh u provedbi.
Izlaganje će se posebno fokusirati na pitanja vezana uz autorsko pravo i način na koje se to pitanje adresira u zahtjevima financijera i vrednovatelja (domaćih i međunarodnih), i u politikama otvorene znanosti različitih hrvatskih ustanova. Jesi li zahtjevi i kriteriji uvijek jasni? Daju li politike ustanova alate ili smjernice koji autorima pomažu u ostvarivanju otvorenog pristupa (pogotovo u odnosu na izdavače znanstvenih radova)? Spominju li se i na koji način otvorene licencije, za različite vrste sadržaja? Ovo su neka od pitanja koja će razmotriti i ponuditi odgovori.
Who Owns Our Knowledge? An African University Press Perspective
Who owns our knowledge in a global academic landscape shaped by powerful commercial publishers? Nwach Egbunike, head of Pan-Atlantic University Press in Lagos, brings an African university press perspective to this debate. Drawing on his extensive experience, Dr. Egbunike will discuss how African presses navigate systemic barriers to visibility and authority within the global scholarly ecosystem. While open access is frequently championed as a corrective, Dr. Egbunike asks whether it truly addresses marginalization—or might new models be required. His talk will challenge us to examine the complex realities of ownership, access, and equity in knowledge production, and how universities and publishers in Africa are charting their own paths amidst these global challenges.
The presentation will be followed by a conversation about knowledge inequality with Dr. Arsim Canolli, University of Prishtina in Kosova.
Opportunities in Open Access Publishing
In celebration of International Open Access Week (20–26 October 2025) and its powerful theme, “Who Owns Our Knowledge?”, we come together to champion the transformative principles of open access.

Behind the Scenes: Open Scholarship
Open scholarship and open education can often feel mystifying—especially from the outside. But even for those working within these practices, common challenges and shared experiences are bound to emerge across institutions.
Approaches to countering the gatekeeping of knowledge manifest in various forms, including library-led initiatives and programming, teaching and learning centres' guidebooks, and collaborations, as well as student union endorsements of open education, open-access university press publishing, and open science working groups. These efforts—led by libraries and librarians, university presses and their dedicated staff, teaching and learning centres and their instructional designers, faculty groups, student unions, and more—might often be united by a common goal: to prioritize community over commercial interests in the pursuit of democratizing knowledge.
This Behind the Scenes hybrid event brings together practitioners from different institutions to share what excites them about a current project, the behind-the-scenes work that makes it possible, and a key challenge they face in their practice!

How Do You Picture It? A Presentation and Discussion on Alt-texts and Art Books
Alt-texts are important features of accessible ebooks. They describe imagery that appears in electronic texts to better include readers with visual impairments. While there are numerous accessibility guides that suggest best practices, some images are more difficult to describe than others and examples of visual art can be especially challenging. While bias-free language is important to describe images, how does visual art pose issues in communicating a material type, a mood, or an atmosphere?
Please join Concordia University Press and Mehrnoosh Alborzi for a conversation and an example-driven presentation on writing alt-text descriptions for visually illustrated books. Presenting findings from her Elspeth McConnell Fine Arts Award–funded research project, Alborzi will share information with attendees about when best practices guides are lacking, what kinds of images are especially difficult, and how to communicate nuances without imparting too much bias or interpretation.
Following Alborzi’s presentation, attendees with experience in alt-texts are encouraged to bring examples of their own work for a collaborative discussion and sharing session, as well as time for questions.

The year 2024 marks a significant reference point in the Swiss Open Access (OA) landscape. By this time, all scholarly publications funded by public money were expected to be freely accessible on the internet, in accordance with the initial national OA strategy (swissuniversities & Swiss National Science Foundation, 2017). Additionally, the “GOAL” project that set off to unlock the Green OA potential in scholarly and professional journals in Switzerland three years ago, is nearing its conclusion. On this occasion, we will meet with representatives from Swiss-based journals and their publishers, legal experts, and science policymakers to discuss the current situation of OA in Switzerland. What has been achieved so far and what challenges still lie ahead? What are our panellists optimistic about and what concerns them? Furthermore, will we reach the new national goal to shift completely to OA by 2032, as the revised national strategy stipulates (swissuniversities & Swiss National Science Foundation, 2024)? We invite researchers, publishers, decision-makers, research support staff, librarians, and all others interested in the topic to join us for a lively panel discussion at this hybrid event, followed by an aperitif.
