Open Access seeks to return scholarly publishing to its original purpose:
to spread knowledge and allow that knowledge to be built upon. Price
barriers should not prevent students, researchers (or anyone) from getting
access to research they need. Open Access, and the open availability and
searchability of scholarly research that it entails, will have a
significant positive impact on everything from education to the practice of
medicine to the ability of entrepreneurs to innovate.

International Open Access Week <http://www.openaccessweek.org/> (October
21-27, 2019) is a global, community-driven week of action to open access to
research and knowledge in general. The event is celebrated by individuals,
institutions and organizations across the world and its organization is led
by a global advisory committee. This is an important opportunity to
catalyze new conversations, create connections across and between
communities that can facilitate this co-design, and advance progress to
build more equitable foundations for opening knowledge.



This event is jointly organized by the Centre for Society and Policy, The
DST-Centre for Policy Research and JRD Tata Memorial Library at IISc.
