Diamond Open Access Workshop Day on 21 March 2025 in Bern
The Diamond Open Access Workshop Day is an event for the community of institutional publishing service providers and scholar-led journals in Switzerland to share knowledge and experiences on the latest developments as well as technical and non-technical standards in Diamond Open Access publishing.
This event will feature eleven practice-oriented workshops and a poster session, dedicated to tools and services for Diamond Open Access publishing. This workshop day is all about implementation, providing practical insights, strategies, and solutions for those working in the field.
