OASPA Online Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing 2020

The OASPA 2020 Conference will take place online during the week of Monday 21 – Friday 25 September 2020. Please save the date in your diaries!

Further details will be released as soon as possible on this page, but you can sign up for conference updates if you would like us to send you information on how to attend as well as program updates as they become available. 

While we will miss the in-person interaction that the conference has provided each year, we are excited by the prospect of enriching our discussions with more experiences and perspectives shared from colleagues across the world.

The 2020 conference will address open access at a time of global challenge, taking on the demands and opportunities for open scholarship in relation to past and future crises in different regions of the globe. OASPA 2020 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.

The program committee is working hard to deliver an exceptional series of sessions, exploring:

  • The latest developments in global open access policy 
  • Funding and operational models for equitable open access
  • Moves toward community-owned, open infrastructure
  • Engaging researchers in open scholarship
  • Pricing and cost transparency
  • Perspectives from small and scholar-led publishers
  • The future of open scholarship

Please feel free to discuss the conference on social media using the hashtag #OASPA2020. Enquiries regarding the conference should be directed to info@oaspa.org. We hope you can join us!
