Open Scholarship @ UWinnipeg

Abstract

At UWinnipeg, we prioritize student success, offer outstanding academic research programs and opportunities for students, support Indigenous achievement, embrace inclusivity, and foster meaningful connections on campus and across community. Open Scholarship is a necessary and central part of this work, as it makes our teaching and research expertise available freely, globally, and welcomes everyone into the conversations happening at our University. Across the UWinnipeg campus there are many projects and initiatives occurring to increase access to teaching, research, and knowledge. Some of these are connected with The Library and Research Office, some of these are occurring in departments or in other siloed locations. Many of these initiatives are great as is and don't need to scale up, but many projects could benefit from having 1. Larger campus awareness and championing, in order to involve more people more effectively 2. Some form of sustainable resourcing and 3. Policy support in key areas
