[GOAL] First Basel Sustainable Publishing Forum

[Dr. Franck Vazquez | CSO | MDPI]

Dear all,

The 1st Basel Sustainable Publishing Forum, organized by the University 
of Basel and the MDPI Sustainability Foundation, will take place on 9 
September 2019.

The 1st BSPF aims to provide background and perspective on Plan S to 
Learned Societies, to support them to fully understand what Plan S 
changes entail, and to help them make well-informed decisions to 
transition their journals to OA.
It will bring together representatives of these societies to hear from 
them and understand the challenges that they are facing to 
transition/flip their journals. This event offers a unique opportunity 
to share with and learn from other societies, as well as from Plan S 
architects and various publishers and publishing platforms. We will hold 
open discussions with a broad range of stakeholders, to identify 
sustainable and scalable solutions for successful Open Access transition.

Registration is open at:
https://sciforum.net/conference/SustainableSolutionsToOpenAccess

Sponsoring options are available on request.

I hope you can join us for some interesting discussions.
Best wishes,
Franck
