Open Access 2020 Transformation Workshop | March 6-8, 2018 | Munich

Open Access 2020 Transformation Workshop, March 6-8, 2018


For librarians and staff looking to take pro-active steps to accelerate the transition of scholarly communications to open access.

Highly interactive, this workshop provides participants with a clear understanding of the strategic and practical aspects of transitioning to open access, enabling them to create and implement their own OA2020 roadmap to drive open access within their local community and have impact on a global scale. Led by MPDL librarians and staff with over 10 years of experience in developing and perfecting OA strategies and workflows, the workshop is a fantastic opportunity to share experiences and learn best practice in managing and leading the open access transformation.

Participants of previous workshops had this to say:
“Excellent level of detail and depth of topics covered – each part related to the other. It was perfect!”
“Most useful workshop I have attended. Invaluable knowledge & new insights. Good tools, contacts and methods”
