The inaugural Oxford Festival of Open Scholarship (OxFOS) is a reimagining of Oxford Open Access Week and is organised by the Bodleian Libraries.

Audience: Primarily aimed at researchers and academics but all Oxford staff and students are welcome.

Location: OxFOS22 is online and sessions range between half hour talks and two-hour workshops.

OxFOS will cover a range of topical issues, including:

• The very latest updates on funder policy including Wellcome, ERC/EC, and UKRI
• The tricky problem of open monographs
• Sustainable publishing infrastructures
• Defending the rights of authors

This is an opportunity to explore and debate issues, and jointly look for solutions. We hope to interest and inspire you!
