Open in action: Making openness in research a reality

This session is for all researchers - including those who are just starting their career to those at the top of their field.

Professor Ginny Barbour, Executive Officer, Australasian Open Access Strategy Group, will chair a forum of three researchers whose commitment to working in the open has benefitted them in their publishing and research career.

Associate Professor Adrian Barnett (QUT), Associate Professor Bela Stantic (Griffith University) and Dr. Carlos Bustamante Diaz (UQ) will provide an insight into why they have chosen to incorporate open access into their research practice. They will also discuss the practicalities and benefits of open data and open access publishing for engaging with a wider audience and increasing the impact of their research.

Afternoon tea is provided.

This event is presented by the Libraries of QUT, University of Queensland and Griffith University.
