Open Access Week is a global initiative that celebrates open access to scholarly information. This year's theme, "Community over Commercialization", represents an opportunity to join together, take action, and raise awareness around the importance of community control of knowledge sharing systems. 

Our presenter for 2023 is Gunnar Blohm, a leading researcher and innovator in the field of sensorimotor control and computational neuroscience, will deliver a presentation on his latest project, Scholarnexus. During the event, he will share his vision and insights on the future of community-led open access infrastructure. 

Scholarnexus is a novel platform that aims to create a seamless ecosystem for open scholarly publishing. It will enable researchers, institutions, and the academic community to access and share knowledge more easily and collaboratively. You can learn more about Scholarnexus on its official website. 

This event is a great opportunity for anyone interested in the future of open access and the potential of Scholarnexus to join the conversation.
