Various international jurisdictions have embraced the value of open access to the outputs of publicly-funded research: to improve research practices, to stimulate more research, and to facilitate innovation and economic growth.

In a presentation for UWindsor faculty and graduate students on Friday, June 9, Mark Leggott, executive director of Research Data Canada, will discuss the opportunities and challenges to adopting an “Open by Default” approach to the dissemination of publicly-funded research. The session will encourage a discussion of issues through the lens of researchers, funders, and groups that provide support for research data management.

“Research Data in the Digital Age: Opportunities and Challenges” will begin at 2 p.m. in room 4101, Leddy Library.
