Open Access promotes visibility, participation and the open exchange of knowledge. But who owns the knowledge generated at art universities such as the University of Applied Arts? How free is knowledge? What is Open Access and how does it work? And how can researchers, teachers and students make the best use of the principle of free and open access to scientific and artistic results? Open access offers many opportunities and raises countless questions, which will be collected and (pre)sorted together in this workshop-style event. We will explore the opportunities, challenges and wishes associated with open access in research, teaching and study, and invite interested parties and stakeholders to engage in conversation with invited experts and thought leaders. Short presentations and small groups will open up a space for exchange on the following areas, in which open access has become indispensable in scientific and artistic research and teaching: Research & Development Discover, Find & Save Publish The Angewandte Open Access Awareness Day aims to raise awareness of the use of open access and to discuss related needs, concerns, wishes and ideas in a concentrated form.
