#1 Open Access at the UT

Open Talks

Welcome to Episode # 1 of the OPEN TALKS podcast series!

In this podcast series, researchers, students, and support staff at the University of Twente meet to talk openly—without restrictions—about the most influencing, exciting or concerning trends and practices in academia and science.

Nicole Loorbach and Roberto Cruz, UT Specialists Open Access, talk about "Open Access Publishing" with Sofia Bastoni and Thomas Vaessen, two researchers at the University of Twente. Should scientific knowledge be free and easy to access for everyone? What are we as a university doing to facilitate Open Access? And how are we doing so far in that regard?

The past, present and future of academia and science are brought to light. Honest, heated, but also humorous conversations are held by members of the academic community at the University of Twente. Welcome and join the discussion!
