Did/will you publish your thesis openly? You can participate in the raffle!

The UEF Library raffles an annual scholarship of 100 euros among UEF students who have published their Master’s theses openly since the previous draw.

The draw is always in October, just before the International Open Access Week, when the winner is announced. The draw form is always open.

The theses are published on eRepo. You have included your own work in open science, haven’t you?

Good luck in the draw!
