In recognition of International Open Access Week, TMU Libraries is hosting a talk by Dr. Monica Granados: “Handing you the keys to open access”.

Dr. Monica Granados has a PhD in ecology from McGill University. While working on her PhD, Monica discovered incentives in academia promote practices that make knowledge less accessible and has since devoted her career to working in the open science space in pursuit of making knowledge more equitable and accessible. She has worked on open knowledge initiatives with Mozilla, the Government of Canada and is a co-founder of PREreview. Monica is now Director of Open Science at Creative Commons working on promoting open access of scientific research.

We encourage faculty and graduate students to attend this event to learn more about how open access can help academics find a wider audience for their research.
