This #OpenAccessWeek, the theme “Who Owns Our Knowledge?” asks how communities can reclaim control over what they create, especially in an AI-driven world.
Join us this January for a panel with @westernu.ca's Dr. Mark Daley, Dr. Joanna Redden, James Shelley, and Stephen Spong!
Transparent, trustworthy research starts with us.
This #OpenAccessWeek, take a step toward openness: share a preprint, publish openly, post a dataset, or discuss responsible AI. Small actions create big change! How are you making your research more open?
As we celebrate #OpenAccessWeek, let’s reflect on how knowledge is created, shared, and valued and who gets to participate. From paywalls to AI trained on public data, ownership and accessibility matter more than ever. Let’s build a future where knowledge belongs to everyone.
In honour of #OAWeek, we’re highlighting Western’s Dorsal Column - a trainee-led publication showcasing brain research at WIN!
