OASPA conference – call for presentation proposals

Organisers of this year's OASPA annual conference are calling for proposals for lightning talks. The event brings the open access community together to discuss new developments and innovations in scholarly publishing, and unite in its shared goal to enable research around the world to be openly accessible. The 2023 online conference will encourage participants to work towards making equitable open scholarship a reality and will address many timely and fundamental topics relating to open scholarly communication.

The conference will take place online from 19 to 21 September 2023 to ensure wide participation and the opportunity to welcome everyone for collective reflection on endeavours to ensure scholarship is open and accessible to all.

The Program Committee now invites organisations and individuals to submit a proposal for ‘Poster Lightning Talk’ presentations. These are short talks showcasing new projects, ideas or initiatives accompanied by a poster (guidelines will be provided).

Submissions from beyond North America and Europe are particularly welcome. All proposals should be submitted by June 26, 2023 via this form, which asks for a brief description (up to a strict maximum count of 250 words) of your proposal. Registration costs for the authors of successful proposals will be waived.

Information about the conference can be found here and is updated regularly.
