International Open Access Week
19.–25-10-2026: “The Cost of Knowledge?”
“The Cost of Knowledge” is the theme for this year’s International Open Access Week.
We create and share knowledge in order to advance human understanding and the common good. We recognize that accessing and sharing knowledge is a human right. Yet, the costs to access and share knowledge continue to increase, often dramatically. Why? Who benefits?
Open-access publications provide free access but often incur high costs for researchers. The TUHH helps reduce these costs through publication grants, agreements, and repositories such as TORE.
What Is the Cost of Knowledge? In honor of Open Access Week 2026, we’re taking a look at the financial, human, and infrastructural resources behind open knowledge and asking who bears these costs.
