As part of open-access.network, we have designed a series of online courses on the topic of open access in German and English. The self-study courses are provided via the TOERN (TIB) platform. After completing a course, participants can receive a PDF certificate. To do so, they must create an account and enrol in a course. However, it is also possible to view the content directly via guest access.
