O2OA – Blog Two

 

It has been an active few months for the O2OA project. As per our plan, our main activities so far have included:

  • Focus groups with university staff (research support and Academic)
  • Collation of publisher, funder and data guidelines
  • Attendance at OA events

O2OA Goes to London

Colleagues from the O2OA project attended the recent Jisc Open Access Good Practice Workshop (17th June) and Programme meeting (25th June).  Lorna Everall (CU project lead) and Alan Cope (DMU) presented on the project plan (slides available below) and enjoyed speed dating with other project partners! Takeaways from the day include clear crossovers between approaches and the chance to share learning and experiences throughout the project lifespan.  We will be contacting partners asap, whilst our own needs assessment is running, to establish relationships and strengthen our collective approach.

Watch this space for more updates! We will also be tweeting with #o2oa
