You can register now on the registration page <https://webforms.copernicus.org/OASPA2020/registration>.
The 2020 conference will address open access at a time of global challenge and will also be a forum for collective reflection on the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and our ongoing endeavour to ensure scholarship is open and accessible to all. This year, we will be kicking off the conference with a moderated discussion Open access at a time of global challenge: How has the world changed? Our speakers will share global perspectives within the discussion taking on the demands and opportunities for open scholarship in relation to past and future crises in different regions of the globe. Other panels and keynotes will cover: - The Future of Community-owned Open Infrastructure in a World Transformed - What Funding and Business Mechanisms will Support Equitable Open Access - Researchers, Open Science and Open Access behaviours – what changed in 2020 - Pricing and cost transparency: Is it time to unbundle the “end to end” publication process? - Small and scholar-led publishers: What lessons can they teach us? - The future of open research communication: Where are we headed and how could we prepare? The full program for the conference will be announced soon.
