During the same week, the University Library is offering four coffee lectures on open access publishing as part of International Open Access Week. For doctoral students, we would particularly like to highlight the lecture “Who owns my publications? Legal principles of open access” on Thursday, 23.10.2025, at 12:30 p.m., which covers legal aspects that are also relevant for the publication of dissertations.
