In celebration of International Open Access Week (24th-30th October) we’d like to invite you to participate in Open Access in Action on Tuesday 25th October 11.00-12.30 in the new Research Hub, on level 13 of the refurbished Edward Boyle Library. Hear about the latest developments and issues in the OA landscape from a range of different perspectives. Find out from Leeds academics about their experiences of making their research freely available and take advantage of the Q&A to ask any questions you may have about open access.

The event will be opened by Professor Lisa Roberts, Deputy Vice Chancellor: Research & Innovation, who will discuss OA from the institutional perspective.

Other speakers include:

Dr Stella Butler (University Librarian and Keeper of the Brotherton Collection)
Richard Bennett, Commercial Director, Hindawi Publishing
Aimee Nixon, Head of Open Access, Emerald Group Publishing
Professor Helen Gleeson (School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Leeds)
Professor Malcolm Heath (School of Classics, University of Leeds)
Tom Grady, White Rose University Press
