Circle U. takes part in the International Open Access Week 2025!
Open Science is becoming increasingly important to ensure that research is accessible to everyone in inclusive, equitable, and sustainable ways. Understanding how we can commit to these practices within our universities and beyond is essential for shaping the future of knowledge sharing.
Since we know how important this topic is, we began working on it a few years ago together with our partner universities. This led to the development of Shared Guidelines for Open Science and Open Educational Resources and the formulation of Recommendations to Policymakers on Open Science and Open Education. These collective efforts laid a strong foundation, aligning our practices and voices across institutions.
This year, our alliance takes a step further by organising a half-day event as part of the International Open Access Week. The aim is not only to share this work, but also to go further it by bringing together experts from our partner universities to exchange perspectives, confront challenges, and explore solutions.
