<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Keynotes (10 AM - 1 PM)</strong><br>

<p>The morning session will feature short keynotes from
champions of open research:</p>
