Staff Weeks

Open Access Staff Weeks give library staff the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes at other institutions. Participants have the opportunity to learn about best practices in the implementation of OA - for example, in the design of publication funds or the realilsation of OA in different organisational units. The event format offers a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience and aims to strengthen collaboration between institutions.

A total of five Open Access Staff Weeks took place at various institutions within the open-access.network project. Further Open Access Staff Weeks are being planned. If you have any questions about this format, please send an email to open-access.network(at)uni-konstanz.de.
