<Apologies for cross posting>

Hello all,

We have made it to the end of Open Access Week and this is our final 
contribution. It has been a big and successful week again. Thanks for 
participating.

*Blog
*We have had over 1100 reads of our OA Week blogs so far*!

Today's blog "How open is Cambridge?" 
https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1080 - is an analysis by 
Dr Arthur Smith of how much Cambridge research is openly available.

The full list of blogs from this week are on our OA Week webpage

*Announcement*
The Office of Scholarly Communication is pleased to announce that 44 
Cambridge researchers and staff have successfully applied to become Data 
Champions; advocates for data management and sharing within their 
departments. The Champions are in a range of departments from Applied 
Mathematics through to Zoology, and include PIs, post-doctoral 
researchers, PhD students and support professionals. As well as 
advocating to their peers these Champions will be delivering 
discipline-specific training on research data management and sharing.

The Data Champions will help meet the demand for more data management 
training across Cambridge, something we are currently struggling to meet 
<https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=877>, and will also 
create a Community of Practice of researchers who can share their 
expertise. In the coming weeks we will be adding information about the 
Data Champions to http://www.data.cam.ac.uk so researchers can find the 
right expert to help them. If you have any questions about this 
programme please email info at data.cam.ac.uk <mailto:info at data.cam.ac.uk>.

We have also made available two infographics about the repository and 
Open Access services at Cambridge

*Events*

Last night we launched Apollo, our upgraded University repository 
https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/ - we couldn't go past the space theme 
of an 'Apollo launch' - with astronaut ice-cream giveaways, a NASA 
countdown, and even an intergalactic visit from Dr Peter Hedges, our 
Head of the Research Office.

There is a short story about the event: 'Mission Open Access: the Apollo 
Repository launches' https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1156

The recordings from our events this week are now available on 
http://osc.cam.ac.uk/open-access/open-access-week-2016 if you missed the

    and Facebook"/
