We invite academic and non-academic staff, researchers and students to participate in the LETSGROW online training ‘Software Licensing and Open Access Publication’, which will take place on December 3, 9.00-10.30 CET. The training will be delivered by lecturer Michael Mrissa (University of Primorska).
This training will cover the most important aspects of software licensing. It will provide an overview of the history of free software and open source, as well as copyright and Creative Commons. It will also explain how licensing impacts the lifecycle of code and programs, and the economic world around them. It will also provide an overview of the various open access publication models and their impact on publication practices.
