October 20 – 26 was International Open Access Week 2025, organized by SPARC in partnership with the Open Access Week Advisory Committee. This year, the theme was ‘Who Owns Our Knowledge?’
Following our original post the week prior, ‘International Open Access Week 2025: Events’ where we gathered as many online events we could find that relate to OA books or open infrastructures, in collaboration with Copim, we’d like to share the recordings of all these events with you in case you missed one and would like to catch up. Happy watching!
