This first-time event is a collaboration between Dublin City University, University College Cork, University College Dublin, University of Galway, and Queen’s University Belfast. We wish to celebrate the work of open researchers and those professionals who support them.

Please see the Open Research Week, 2026 website for registration and a full schedule of speakers.

In the spirit of openness, we welcome all researchers, students, information professionals, research support staff or any other interested group. This event is virtual and free to attend, but registration is required.
