WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
A better understanding on what Open Access is, and examples of what it

Countries, will be presented. The aim of the workshop is not only to
introduce the newest technologies in Open Access but also to give
participants an extensive hands-on experience on selected techniques.
TOPICS
Participants will be exposed to the tremendous resources and possibilities
available to the scientific community including:
Potential of Open Access in science
Open Source software for Open Access
