Open Access Week

It takes place globally during the last full week of October in a multitude of locations both on- and offline.For instance, the Royal Society chose Open Access Week 2011 to announce that they would release the digitized backfiles of their archives, dating from 1665 to 1941.[3] In 2008, October 14 was designated Open Access Day, and the event became global.[7] In the early years, organisations celebrating Open Access Week set their own themes.Since 2012, an 'official' theme was established and received special attention at the corresponding kick-off events held at the World Bank.
