New coffee lecture series: Behind the bookshelves

Lib4RI

Starting on 4. November, we launch our new coffee lecture series "Behind the bookshelves - publishing, politics and more...". Join us for 30-min sessions, every first Tuesday of the month, 13:30 - 14:00, online!

Ever asked yourself who really decides on article processing charges (APCs)? How you can harness your open research data in the age of AI training? And how your work can be valued beyond just citation counts?

There is a lot going on behind the bookshelves of the library! Grab a coffee and join us for a quick session where we’ll unpack the latest debates in publishing and science policy - and show why they matter to your research.

First session on 04. November 2025
