This webinar is free and open to the public. Link to registration page: http://www.cvent.com/d/cbqwbc What are the economic implications of publishing research open access? What do economically efficient models for open access look like at the moment, how do they differ between different kinds of publishers, and what might they look like in the future? Is there a sufficiently robust funding stream to finance open access? How variable is this across the world and across the various disciplines? How do we build sustainable models? What can we learn from other digital sectors? In this webinar chaired by Dr Stuart Taylor, Publishing Director at the Royal Society, different perspectives on the economics and sustainability of open access publishing will be presented and discussed by panelists Dr Rupert Gatti, Fellow and Director of Studies in Economics at Trinity College, Cambridge, and Cofounder of Open Book Publishers; Liz Ferguson, Vice President of Editorial Development at Wiley; and Claudio Aspesi, an independent consultant in the media and publishing industry.
