This webinar (22 May 2024, 15.00-16.30 CEST) will focus on universal and perpetual Open Access to scholarly outputs, in a just scholarly publishing ecosystem*, the first priority of the EUA Open Science Agenda 2025.
During the webinar, participants will be invited to discuss challenges, needs and expectations in the transition towards a just scholarly publishing ecosystem. This will include discussing a recent proposal by cOAlition S, Towards Responsible Publishing. This proposal identifies key challenges of dominant publishing models and proposes a vision for a community-based scholarly communication system fit for Open Science in the 21st century. A set of principles is proposed to develop this community-based scholarly communication system. Discussing this proposal will prompt a broader discussion on the future of scholarly communication, from the perspective of universities.
