Forum

We are pleased to announce that registrations are now open for the 2019 Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing, which will take place on Tuesday 24 – Thursday 26 September 2019, at the Royal Library in Copenhagen, Denmark. You can register now on the registration page. Early bird registration closes on July 12th.

Discounts on registration fees are available to OASPA and OAPEN members. Academics and librarians may take advantage of discounted rates by registering at the member rate.

Now in its 11th year, the OASPA annual Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing is a major scholarly publishing conference that brings the open access community together to discuss new developments and innovations in scholarly publishing and unite in our shared goal to enable research around the world to be openly accessible. This year, we will be kicking off the conference with a ‘Funders’ panel. Chaired by Robert Kiley (Head of Open Research, Wellcome Trust), this will be a discussion between representatives of international funders with an extended Q&A.

Other panels and keynotes will cover Inclusive Globalisation, Emerging Research, Research Culture, Radical Futures and Open Access Books.  The full program for the conference will be announced as soon as possible.

As always, we will host a broad range of interdisciplinary global perspectives in panels and keynotes, and offer a large number of networking opportunities for further discussion and collaboration between attendees. We welcome delegates from a wide range of backgrounds at all stages of their careers who are working in publishing, librarianship, government, higher education, funding agencies, nonprofits, and other affiliated industries.

The preliminary program for the conference will be published in the next few days, linked from this page.
