To round up #OpenAccessWeek, we’re returning to the question: Who Owns Our Knowledge?

Kate Petherbridge (WRUPress Manager & OIPA Chair) explores the many facets of this question—how ownership shapes who can access, share & benefit from research, and why it matters more than ever.

This #OpenAccessWeek (20–26 Oct) we’re asking:
Who owns our knowledge?
WRUP + @uoyopenres.bsky.social believe openness and ownership can go hand in hand.
Here’s how we’re working together to make that real.

Last run through of my talk for #OpenFest tomorrow, pretty much bang on an hour so I'm going to have to speak fast and attempt to not go off track.

Hopefully it'll be an enjoyable, if general, overview of EDI issues in Open Research. I hope you'll come along!

Today marks the anniversary of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s death — a reminder of how his visionary poetry (Kubla Khan, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner) still shapes the way we imagine nature, myth, and the mind.
