Earlybird registrations are now open for the OASPA annual conference, the Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing, which will take place on Tuesday 24 – Thursday 26 September 2019, at the Royal Library in Copenhagen, Denmark. To register, please head to our registration page. Early-bird registration closes on July 12th. Accommodation information can be found at our accommodation page.

The preliminary program for the conference will be published by the end of May, linked from this page.

Now in its 11th year, the OASPA annual conference 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. 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.

Two networking receptions for delegates will be held on the evenings of Tuesday 24th and Wednesday 25th September.

The conference is being discussed on social media with the hashtag #OASPA2019. Enquiries regarding the conference should be directed to info@oaspa.org.

For highlights from last year’s conference in Vienna, recordings can be found here.
