International open access week(s)

For the third time, the Library will celebrate International Open Access Week with various events and exhibitions set up by our open science Librarians Catherine Brendow and Guillaume Pasquier. In Switzerland, the week will extend into another so that people on family leave can still participate. The theme this year is “The Cost of knowledge”.
