Webinar “What You Need to Know About Open Access and Data Management?”

In the evolving landscape of academic research, the principles of Open Science are reshaping how knowledge is created, shared, and governed. This event invites researchers, administrators, and institutional stakeholders to explore a critical question: Who owns our knowledge?
Through a series of focused presentations and interactive activities, we will examine the institutional and practical dimensions of knowledge ownership in the context of Open Science.

Participants will gain insights into:

• Open Science Policy.
• Practical tools and templates for research data management.
• Community-building efforts to support an open research culture.
