<p>Today is international Open Access Week and, in celebration and to raise awareness, I gave a talk and workshop at the University of Sussex for a cross-discipline audience. I was pleasantly surprised this year at the acceptance of an open culture and intrinsic understanding of the benefits of openness, both in monetary and permissive terms.</p>
<p>In addition to this session, which will form the basis of an additional workshop I am running next week, I also wrote <a href="http://www.phd2published.com/2011/10/25/martin-paul-eve-on-open-access-week/">a post for PhD2Published on the tipping point of Open Access</a> and have a poster "interview" displayed in the Sussex library.</p>

<p>Of course, Open culture dictates that the irony would be unbearable were I not to share my Prezi, so here it is for the curious:</p>
