Open Access Week 2023
The Open Science concept promotes research efficiency, transparency, and interdisciplinary collaboration, drives innovation and benefits society. With the evolving demands of research funders and digital technologies, Open Science has gained significance in Estonia as well. Throughout the years, university libraries have collected knowledge and experience in this field to offer the necessary support and services to academics.
During the Open Access Week of October 23-27, 2023, we invite researchers, doctoral students, research administrators, librarians, and other interested parties to participate in the webinar, familiarize themselves with the latest instructional materials, and update their knowledge about open science.
Webinar „Data protection in Research“ on 25.10. from 13:00 to 14:30 in the Zoom environment.
The webinar will feature three presentations, two of which will be in Estonian, and one in English. The presentations will cover the following topics:
- Introduction to the "Data Protection in Research" guide (Marten Juurik, ETAG/UT),
