Conference Report: "Acting Together for Sustainable Scholar-Led Publishing" – 1st Swiss Diamond Open Access Conference
How can Diamond Open Access be better supported in Switzerland? How should Diamond Open Access be financed in Switzerland? What opportunities and challenges are associated with scholar-led publication initiatives? These questions were explored at the 1st Swiss Diamond Open Access Conference, which took place on 8 March 2024 in Bern under the title "Acting Together for Sustainable Scholar-Led Publishing" and was organised by the PLATO project.
The conference brought together representatives from universities and university libraries, research funders, scholarly societies and scientific academies as well as editors of Swiss Diamond Open Access journals to discuss the urgent question of how to shape and finance a sustainable and affordable Open Access transformation in Switzerland.
