The government’s goal is that by 2024 all Norwegian scientific articles financed by public funds shall be openly available:

• Scientific articles should be made available. Researchers should publish in open journals where they are professionally sound.
• All scientific articles must be deposited in the scientific archive, and this will be a prerequisite for the articles to count in the performance-based funding.

In light of this, and in connection with the International Open Access Week, the University Library invites to a seminar on open access to research.

Time: Thursday 26 October at. 10-12.
Location: Dragefjellet School, Faculty of Law, Auditorium 4.

The event is free and open to all, and will be streamed.
