Diamond Open Access 2023 Roadmap

Community Webinars and Global Summit

23>27 Oct. 2023

In the lead-up to the October 2023 Global Summit on Diamond Open Access, Science Europe, cOAlition S, OPERAS, and the French National Research Agency (ANR) are organising two webinars for the community to prepare discussions for the global summit and to take decisive steps towards a stronger Diamond Open Access ecosystem for scholarly communication.

The ‘Action Plan for Diamond Open Access’ was launched in March 2022. It has since been endorsed by over 150 organisations and 150 individuals. To emphasise the global outlook of our community, the Action Plan is now available in Croatian, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish, with more translations on the way.

First Community Webinar

Monday 17 April 2023, 16.30–18.00 CEST

We invited endorsing organisations and individuals of the Action Plan to join us and establish the main topics to be discussed during the Global Summit. Based on the Action Plan and a draft concept note, we discussed their views and feedback.

Second Community Webinar

Monday 18 September 2023, 16.30–18.00 CEST

This event was dedicated to a discussion of the goals and objectives of the 23–27 October ‘Global Summit on Diamond Open Access’ in Toluca, México. The community also reviewed and made suggestions for the draft declaration that will be launched during the event.
