Open science and use of images: ImagOA guide

The availability of the materials created in universities and polytechnics increases the quality and social impact of higher education institutions. In the absence of skills and knowledge about open access models, the materials will remain under-exploited and the material could often be used only within one course or publication due to copyright restrictions.

The project has led to the development of training and information material, as well as the arrangement of training sessions and information. The education and information materials help to ensure that the authors of the materials understand copyright. This will help to achieve the best possible use of the materials.

The project has created legal options for further use of materials and will increase their accessibility. The results of the project will contribute to the effectiveness of publicly funded copyrighted material in higher education institutions and in society in general.
