MDPI has been championing Open Access (OA) for nearly 30 years and remains committed to advancing open scientific exchange. Each year, Open Access Week highlights the importance of OA, exploring vital questions around openness and the broader academic landscape. This year’s theme asks: ‘Who Owns Our Knowledge?’ MDPI believes that knowledge should be available to everyone, for the benefit of society and the advancement of science. That’s why MDPI focuses on advancing open scientific exchange. Join MDPI for International Open Access Week (October 20–26, 2025) to celebrate the power of shared knowledge and the global impact of science that is accessible to all.

📢 New publication alert! Our ESR Anaëlle Cheillan and her supervisors, David Jacobs and Pedro Passos just published a paper on how to jointly control a ball trajectory on a moving board: Methodological insights into Motor Learning and #Rehabilitation in PLOS One. This study shows that when people practice a new teamwork-based movement task, their actions become more refined and they start using information more efficiently to coordinate with each other. The findings also suggest that this approach can help researchers and therapists understand and improve how beginners or patients with motor difficulties learn to connect perception and movement. https://lnkd.in/eWZEjdC6 Congrats to the team!

Year 1 of KCV EDGE built a strong foundation for advancing research and commercialization, identifying key challenges like limited faculty time for grant work and gaps in research infrastructure. Looking ahead, the next phases will focus on: ✨ Defining clear metrics to measure outcomes and regional impact ✨ Evaluating and sharing program successes, tools and best practices ✨ Ultimately establishing EDGE as a fully developed model of funding, administration, commercialization and leadership to support institutions across states, territories and agencies nationwide With each phase, KCV EDGE is creating a more efficient, innovative and collaborative research ecosystem — empowering institutions and researchers to reach their full potential. 👉 Read the full Year 1 Impact Report: https://lnkd.in/dJeeDcgG

MDPI is proud to announce its first U.S. consortium agreement with the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (CARL). The partnership grants 16 libraries and institutions across the U.S. access to MDPI’s Institutional Open Access Program. In 2024, 26,400+ research articles by U.S. scholars were published by MDPI and indexed in Web of Science.
