How to go open access
Academic publishing is currently in change and while many stakeholders agree to the transformation to open access, there is still dispute on the how-to. Science funders are putting pressure on scientists to increase the speed of the process. The most important funders, their regulations and funding opportunities will thus be an important topic. The participants will get background information on open access and will be shown how to implement this knowledge in their daily work at ETH.
