About

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the OAPEN Library, a platform hosted by OAPEN. OAPEN supports the transition to open access for academic books, working with hundreds of publishers and other stakeholders around the globe to ensure the dissemination of a high-quality research through its the library. To mark this milestone, we cordially invite you to attend a special panel discussion where a range of OA publishers and infrastructure providers will reflect on how far we have come and what still needs to be done, providing an overview of the landscape and discussing developments, challenges and opportunities.
