[GOAL] Invitation - Workshop: Innovative business models for open access book publishing in Europe

[Bernie Folan]

***with apologies for cross-posting***

OASPA is supporting the work of the OPERAS-P
<https://operas.hypotheses.org/operas-p> project which is looking into
innovative, non-bpc
<https://oabooks-toolkit.org/glossary/article/2798581-book-processing-charge-bpc>
business
models to create a sustainable infrastructure for open access book
publishing in Europe. Following the publication of a library landscape study
<https://zenodo.org/record/4483773#.YFIZU51Kg2w>, investigating the
opportunities for developing collaborative library funding models, and a
series of publisher-specific case study interviews, we would now like to
invite publishers to participate in a series of workshops highlighting the
diversity of different business models being adopted within Europe.

Together with OPERAS <https://operas.hypotheses.org/>, we will be hosting
three European-focussed* workshops on business models for open access books
targeted specifically at small and medium-sized academic book publishers.
These workshops will be free and open to publishers that already publish
open access books as well as those considering starting open access book
publishing – from within and outside of Europe. While the first workshop
will be informative in nature, the following two will be organized as
interactive in-depth workshops focused on challenging areas in the OA books
publishing process.

It is our pleasure to invite you to the first workshop to be held on *April
7th at 14:00-16:00 CEST*. Please find a brief description and registration
link in this newly published blog post

.
We hope to see you on April 7th.

Best wishes,
Bernie
