Open research and open minds: a Cambridge perspective on sharing research outputs (for PhD students in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences)

Have you ever wondered who can access your research? Most articles and research outputs are locked up behind paywalls inside an ivory tower. Find out how to make your practice more open to reach a broader audience, spark collaborations and, most importantly, improve the quality of your research.

• PhD students in HASS subjects.
• Other PhD students and postdocs also welcome

Number of sessions: 1
