The Open Access Week 2024 focuses on the topic of ‘Community over Commercialisation’. As part of a panel discussion, we aim to explore the perspectives of open approaches to science. The focus will be on Diamond Open Access - an approach that enables access to scientific publications without financial barriers for authors and readers.

Join us in discussing questions such as:

  • Who are the funders of Diamond Open Access, and what sustainable funding models beyond initial grants are conceivable?
  • Can Diamond Open Access be aligned with non-commercial publication models that prioritize the needs of the scholarly community, and if so, how?
  • What are the advantages of Diamond Open Access for researchers?
  • Can a more inclusive scientific landscape be created in this way?
