This edition of Open Access Week is dedicated to researchers and their need for guidance through open access publication models and projects.

Join together, take action, and raise awareness about the importance of open knowledge sharing

Free participation, mandatory registration.

In April 2025, the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) introduced its Repository License Fee (RLF). These new fees, applied when authors add a CC-BY license to their manuscript in order to deposit it in an open archive, amount to $1,275 for journal articles and $400 for conference proceedings. Alain Schuhl, the CNRS's Deputy CEO for Science (DGDS) at the CNRS, warns of the abuses associated with this practice and recommends that his researchers do not pay the RLF.

Start the year off right by getting to know your library!
Several tours are organized for students at the start of the academic year, some of which even take the form of escape games. Don't hesitate to sign up! 

Have you just enrolled at university? We'd like to welcome you! Find out what we can offer you and download our checklist to get you ready for the new school year!

Reminder : ULiège is organizing their second Open Science Day on Thursday 27th November 2025. For this occasion, ULiège Library and RISE invite you to submit a contribution proposal. Deadline for submission: 30th September 2025.

As part of the preparatory work for the Learning Center project, technical surveys will be conducted on Tuesday, September 9 in the A1 building.

On this occasion, the Philosophy and Communication and Sciences of Antiquity libraries will be closed all day.

We thank you for your understanding and invite you to anticipate your consultation or borrowing needs before this date.

Book store services will be interrupted on August 14 and 19 due to power cuts scheduled throughout these days. 

On July 8, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a proposed new policy aimed at capping the publication fees that scientific publishers can charge researchers funded by the NIH. This measure seeks to curb excessive profits made at the expense of the scientific community by major publishers, particularly through the use of "hybrid" journal models. The proposal reinforces the NIH's commitment to Open Science and aligns with their goal of promoting transparent and universally accessible research.

From Monday July 28 to Friday August 29*, the "cramming period" policy will be applied to libraries and study rooms to enable you to study in the best possible conditions.

• During this period, study in the library is reserved for ULiège and CHU members due to the overcrowding. Your student card gives you access to our areas and services: remember to take it with you on every visit. You may be asked to show it at any time.
• You must reserve seats in some of our libraries (see below).
