LIBSENSE ECR Nigeria Open Access Week 2025

Monday 20 Oct 2025, 11:00 → 13:00 Africa/Lagos

Join us for our LIBSENSE ECR Nigeria Open Access Week 2025 Webinar themed - 'Owning Our Research Infrastructure: Rethinking Visibility and the Hidden Costs of Access'. 

 

Together, we’ll explore what it means to truly own our research infrastructure in Africa and how dependency on external systems affects visibility, access, and sustainability. We’ll discuss the hidden financial and social costs of current models and imagine new pathways using open technologies, institutional repositories, and collaborative frameworks. This conversation invites us to reflect, share ideas, and shape a future where African scholarship is open, visible, and self-determined.
