The "Unlocking Knowledge: Perspectives on Open Science" event is dedicated to International Open Access Week. The theme of this year “Community over Commercialization” focuses on growing recognition of the need to prioritize approaches to open scholarship that serve the best interests of the public and the academic community.

At the event, you will learn:

- how open science makes research knowledge visible and accessible, and why it is so important for young researchers;

- how research data management contributes to the quality of science;

- how a data steward can help in managing and accessing research data;

- what the library's role is in bringing research knowledge to life: what support and services the library offers researchers.

Key presentations:

- "Elevate research with Open Science practices" Milica Ševkušić (EIFL Open Access Programme Coordinator)

- "Research Data Management as a Good Research Practice" Obrad Vučkovac (University of Belgrade, Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences Library)

- "What is there to know about being a data steward?" Agnieszka Cybulska-Phelan (University of Warsaw, Centre for Interdisciplinary Mathematical and Computer Modelling)
