16:30 - TALK - Webinar: Blue is the New Green : Philanthropy, research and community are finding solutions for climate change’s effects within WA’s iconic coastal ecosystems. Website | More Information
UWA's Oceans Institute, Office of Research, and Development and Alumni Relations invite you to hear four leading UWA marine scientists discuss how their work is making a difference. The iconic Western Australian marine parks, Ningaloo and Shark Bay, as well as the Great Southern Reef, are bio-diversity hotspots whose future is tightly linked to the planet's. Their survival is both dependent upon slowing climate change and – through their potential to capture, store and release carbon – critical in the fight against it. Join us as we explore how philanthropic support, scientific research and community collaborations are finding innovative ways to protect these vital coastal ecosystems.

9:00 - SCREENING - Shaking up the Culture of Research Assessment : Join us for this Open Access Week panel viewing and discussion. Website | More Information
October 25-31 is Open Access Week! Open Access Australasia have planned a festival of thoughtful panels and topical presentations for OA week 2021. Join your colleagues from the UWA Library for a viewing of this online panel session and discussion afterwards.

The outputs from academic research are many and varied. Funding agencies, institutions that employ researchers, and researchers themselves all have a desire and need to assess the quality and impact of academic outputs, to ensure they are assessed accurately and evaluated fairly. In order to support a change to more open research practices, and to support early career researchers, a change in thinking is needed in how research is valued and assessed. Join us for a panel discussion on ways in which research assessment can be improved.

Chair: Dr Emma Burrows, Dion Detterer

Panel: Prof. Kimberlee Weatherall, Prof. Robert Mailhammer, Tara McLaren

9:00 - EVENT - Indigenous Voices: research principles and practice through a First Nations lens : Join us for this Open Access Week panel viewing and discussion. Website | More Information
October 25-31 is Open Access Week! Open Access Australasia have planned a festival of thoughtful panels and topical presentations for OA week 2021. Join your colleagues from the UWA Library for a viewing of this online panel session and discussion afterwards.

Research involving Indigenous People and Knowledge can require deeper consideration than simply ‘open’ or ‘closed’. This session will focus on the experiences of First Nations researchers and those conducting research with Indigenous Peoples. We will discuss the guiding concepts and how these can be put into practice, illustrated with case studies.

[The scope of these sessions are being developed with participants and may evolve before the session]

Chair: Kim Tairi

Panel: Maui Hudson, Dr Levon Ellen Blue, Spencer Lilley, Robin Wright

You’ve heard of open access for research publications, but have you considered the role of openness in teaching and learning? In this interactive session, we’ll explore open educational resources (OERs) and their benefits, through a series of case studies and unpack some of the barriers to using, adapting and creating OERs. Whether you are new to OERs or an experienced OER specialist, join us for this interactive event and be part of the conversation on moving the OER agenda forward at a national level.

Panel: Dr Steven Chang, Dr Kate Davis, Tahnee Pearse, Fiona Salisbury, Marion Slawson, Adrian Stagg

11:00 - EVENT - Making Research Truly Accessible: insight unshared is thwarted potential : Join us for this Open Access Week panel viewing and discussion. Website | More Information
October 25-31 is Open Access Week! Open Access Australasia have planned a festival of thoughtful panels and topical presentations for OA week 2021. Join your colleagues from the UWA Library for a viewing of this online panel session and discussion afterwards.

Academic communication can be highly exclusionary. How can we make research findings more accessible whilst retaining accuracy? Our panel of experts in social media outreach, communicating across the sciences, arts and humanities, and visualising research will discuss how to work genuinely accessible for greater equity and impact.

Chair: Sally Murray-Walsh

Panel: Dr Emma Beckett, Dr Drew Berry, Elliott Bledsoe, Dr Tseen Khoo

14:00 - SEMINAR - Read & Publish Open Access agreements webinar : Learn about the 2022 Read and Publish Open Access agreements available to UWA researchers in this 30 minute webinar. Website | More Information
The Library has entered into “Read and Publish” agreements with several journal publishers to support open access publishing of UWA research at no additional cost to researchers.

By publishing open access, UWA authors can ensure that researchers in developing countries, not-for-profit organisations, practitioners, science communicators, citizen scientists, and the general public can access their findings. This increases the potential for the research to be cited, to inform practice, and to be considered in government decision and policy making.

Learn more about the 2022 Read and Publish agreements available to UWA researchers in this 30 minute webinar.

16:00 - EVENT - Mathematics and Statistics Colloquium : Why do we all like the Laplacian? More Information
Abstract: Laplace's interpretation of the gravitational potential produced a huge impact on science at large, and we will try to review some of the important byproducts obtained in several disciplines through the mathematical analysis of the Laplacian operator.

Warning: if you like statistics, biology, finance, algebra, discrete mathematics, machine learning, astronomy, chemistry, photography, social sciences, medicine, music, or virtually anything else, you are probably already in love with the Laplacian!

This is an informal and self-contained presentation, no specific mathematical background will be assumed, questions and interruptions will be welcome.

About the speaker: Enrico is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Western Australia, and an Australian Laureate Fellow. He is a highly cited researcher, editor of a number of top-quality international journals, and editor-in-chief of "Mathematics in Engineering", "Nonlinear Analysis", and "Ars Inveniendi Analytica". His research focuses on mathematical analysis and partial differential equations, with applications to biology and physics.
