Open Access Week: 2025

Open Access week brings the scholarly community together in the hopes of making Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research.



Version française à venir

International Open Access Week (October 20 – 26, 2025) is an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, to share what they’ve learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research.

The 2025 theme, Who Owns Our Knowledge? asks a pointed question about the present moment and how, in a time of disruption, communities can reassert control over the knowledge they produce. It also challenges us to reflect on not only who has access to education and research but on how knowledge is created and shared, where it has come from, and whose voices are recognized and valued. Learn more about the theme here.
