MCSA is committed to making research and knowledge accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances or geographic location. Through its Open Access initiative, MCSA supports wider access to scholarly materials and research that can be freely consulted and downloaded through open repositories, including the UCL Open Access Library.

Open Access refers to scholarly content that is available to the public without barriers such as subscription fees or paywalls. This provides students, researchers, professionals, practitioners, and members of the public with greater opportunities to access reliable and relevant knowledge.

MCSA recognises that access to research is an important part of an inclusive knowledge society. Making research openly available can also help increase its reach, visibility, and potential impact, allowing researchers and scholars to share their work with a wider audience and engage with others working in related fields.

Through its Open Access initiative, MCSA supports the free exchange and dissemination of knowledge, helping reduce barriers to information and encouraging wider participation in research and learning. Open access to scholarly resources contributes to a more connected research community and enables knowledge to reach beyond academic institutions to the communities and individuals who may benefit from it.

"Over 36 months, the EU-Citizen.Science project has successfully built a knowledge hub for citizen science in Europe. But we have done way more than that! From a collaboration with the most relevant citizen science actors in Europe that has led to the development of international events, to the production of more than 20 citizen science training modules, the community built around the EU-Citizen.Science platform is growing."
