As part of their national outreach under the SCOIR (Secondary rights, Copyright, Open Access, Institutional policies, and Rights retention) project, the team are thrilled to announce their Autumn Roadshow Series – a set of dynamic, in-person conversations around rights retention, copyright reform, and open access policy in Irish academia.
These events are designed to engage institutional policymakers, researchers, librarians and support staff in exploring the future of open scholarship and the tools needed to support it.
Join the conversation shaping the future of Open Access and Rights Retention in Ireland. You’ll get to explore how the upcoming Research Outputs and Open Access Bill 2025 could impact your work, your institution and the wider research ecosystem.
Upcoming Events – Save the Dates!
Whether you’re a librarian, policymaker, academic, early-career researcher or part of professional support staff – these events are designed with you in mind. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, contribute and co-create a more open, equitable research culture.
