Open Research Week 2026 is a collaboration between the University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University, Edge Hill University, and the University of Essex. It is a week that celebrates and promotes open research for researchers and colleagues who support open research. Sessions explore key topics such as the public value of open research, data and code sharing, replication, open initiatives, making archives and special collections open, openness in the humanities and why open matters.
