MDPI Webinar | Mapping the UK Open Access Landscape: Institutional Agreements, Publication Ethics, and Interdisciplinary Innovation

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to our UK-wide IOAP (Institutional Open Access Program) online webinar, titled “Mapping the UK Open Access Landscape: Institutional Agreements, Publication Ethics, and Interdisciplinary Innovation”.
This session is open to members of participating UK institutions in our IOAP, and those interested in learning more about this program and how it can benefit institutions.
This webinar will focus on institutional partnerships and open access agreements at MDPI, publication ethics, and an open discussion about open access challenges facing institutions.
We hope this session will foster meaningful discussion and collaboration, promote how libraries and publishers can work together to foster interdisciplinary innovation, and contribute to a deeper understanding of the MDPI IOAP processes.
Thank you for joining us, and we look forward to an engaging and insightful webinar.
