About Plan S at CTK
On Thursday, 4 March 2021, the Central Technical Library (CTK) held an online lecture about Coalition S, Plan S and the transition to complete and prompt open access to scientific publications.
CTK director, Miro Pušnik, opened the event by initially explaining what Coalition S is, and briefly going through its history and the membership of Slovenian organisations.
Next, Maja Vihar, a information specialist for natural science at CTK and a member of two working groups within the Coalition S Expert Group, gave a lecture on Coalition S, its principles and its Rights Retention Strategy. She explained how the Coalition S aims to achieve a complete and fast transition of magazines and publications into an open access model. After the lecture, a brief Q&A session followed.
The recording of the event is available on YouTube, the PPT slides are available here.

The 4th Open Knowledge Day took place on Tuesday 17 October 2023, with an accompanying workshop on 18 October 2023. This year it was organised by the Open Data and Intellectual Property Institute (ODIPI) and supported by Knowledge Rights 21 (KR21).
We invite you to the fourth Open Knowledge Day and the workshop, which will take place this year within the framework of the programme and with the support of Knowledge Rights 21. The event will bring together experts from different European countries to discuss two topics: the first part will deal with the legal basis for data analytics, which is a key part of machine learning and related artificial intelligence, and the general exception for research. In the second part, open science in theory and practice will be presented both in Slovenia and in some Western Balkan countries. Representatives of research and educational institutions from Slovenia and the Western Balkan countries, as well as interested members of the public, are invited to attend.
