The theme for #OAWeek 2026 is "The Cost of Knowledge." Increasing consolidation & commercial control over knowledge comes at a cost. This year’s theme will reckon with that cost and catalyze action toward reclaiming control of these systems meant to serve the public interest. www.openaccessweek.org
