Webinar: Improving Open Access Practices in European Research Libraries
Improving Open Access Practices in European Research Libraries – LIBER Cascading Grants Webinar
REGISTER HERE
In January 2026, LIBER launched the call for Cascading Grants 2026, supported by Knowledge Rights 21. The call sought case studies of institutions and researchers implementing the LIBER Action Plan and the changes they are leading to at the institutional and national levels to improve open access practices.
In this webinar, the authors of each participating library will discuss their open access project and what they have learned in the process. Hearing from seven libraries from across Europe, they each have an unique perspective on advancing open science in their library. Join the session to hear first-hand accounts of their experiences, discover practical approaches, and explore good practices that can inspire and support similar initiatives.
