Open research is much more than open access. It is about making all 
aspects of the research process open to all possible interested parties. 
It involves innovative approaches to communicating results and sharing 
outputs. It is about accessibility, inclusivity, citizen science, public 
engagement, radical transparency, reproducibility, data sharing, social 
media and more.

Supported by the British Academy, this event aims to inspire and educate 
researchers across all disciplines on how to benefit from opening up 
their research. Attendance is free, with free lunch, a free wine 
reception and great prizes to be won.
