Who Owns Our Knowledge? – KIT Library invites you to attend
The KIT Library is also taking part in the International Open Access Week in 2025, which takes place from October 20 to 26 under the motto "Who owns our knowledge?". The week offers a global opportunity to reflect on and actively promote free access to scientific knowledge.
What does "Who owns our knowledge?" mean?
This year's motto calls for people to regain control over their own knowledge and to question existing power relations in the scientific system. It is about reflecting on who has access to education and research, how knowledge is created and shared and whose voices are recognized.
