DESCRIPTION:The Open Science office launches the first event of its new se
 ries "EPFL Shapes Open Science": \n\nOpen Access: Which Way Forward?\n\nAn
  interactive event to address the current issues in Open Access academic p
 ublishing and rethink together the way we share our work to the world\, or
 ganized in collaboration with the EPFL library.\n\nRegistration here\n\n**
 *******************************\nOpen access to knowledge should be the no
 rm\, and this starts with publications. Implementing this has proven diffi
 cult though\, due to several factors.\nAt the moment\, in research\, the k
 ey to success lies in which journal one publishes in. Journal names have b
 ecome a replacement for the quality of our work\, leading us to prioritize
  their reputation over their commitment to open access.\n\nCan we trust th
 e content of an article because it's published in a prestigious journal th
 ough? And if we genuinely value sharing the knowledge we produce\, should 
 we leave it to external entities to control its dissemination? Who exactly
  owns our publications\, and how much does this entire system cost us?\n\n
 Come to this event to find out\, join the discussion and share your voice!
