Event Summary

The Open Access Mystery – who locked down the research?

In this exciting Open Access Mystery game you’ll join a conference as one of eight characters who may or may not know each other from previous events and/or collaborations. During the conference disaster will strike, and it’s up to you to figure out who’s behind what turns out to be a global lockdown of all research. Will it be the Professor who relies on the h-index? The early career researcher with imposter syndrome? The problem solver who works in publishing? Or perhaps it’s the paranoid researcher who thinks you’ve stolen her ideas? Pay attention, not all is as it seems…

This roleplay game will take place via Zoom and will take roughly 60 mins to complete. There are two sessions scheduled, this session is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 15th December 11am-12pm (GMT) –  further details on the 1st session on Friday 11th December from 2pm-3pm GMT can be found here.
