For those that may be interested, October 19-23 will mark the first international Open Access Week.
Open Access Week is an opportunity to broaden awareness and understanding of Open Access to research, including access policies from all types of research funders, within the international higher education community and the general public. The latter includes access to taxpayer funded information in a variety of areas including the latest research on diseases and other health related information, research on energy, on climate change and so on.
Much more information, including events taking place around the world, can be found at the Open Access Week site: http://www.openaccessweek.org/about-the-week
