Open Access Week at McGill 2022

International Open Access Week brings the scholarly community together in the hopes of making Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research.

This year’s theme, Open For Climate Justice, seeks to encourage connection and collaboration among the climate movement and the international open community. Sharing knowledge is a human right, and tackling the climate crisis requires the rapid exchange of knowledge across geographic, economic, and disciplinary boundaries. Learn more about the theme here.
