Target audience

Postgraduate researchers at all stages and from all disciplines.

Workshop feedback

• "Excellent"
• "As someone who didn't know much about Open Access before, this workshop not only introduced me to the concept of Open Access publishing itself, but thoroughly took us through the ways in which we could do it ourselves"
