Final Event Project GOAL – Thursday, 24.10.2024
The “GOAL” project, that set off to unlock the Green Open Access potential in scholarly and professional journals in Switzerland almost three years ago, is nearing its conclusion. Before the end comes, we want to spark the discussion about the current situation and future of Open Access in Switzerland.
In our final event „Open Access in Switzerland – Are we reaching the GOALs?“ we will meet with representatives from Swiss-based journals and their publishers, legal experts, and science policymakers to discuss the current situation of Open Access in Switzerland.
What has been achieved so far and what challenges still lie ahead? What are our panellists optimistic about and what concerns them? Furthermore, will we reach the new national goal to shift completely to Open Access by 2032, as the revised national strategy stipulates (swissuniversities & Swiss National Science Foundation, 2024)?
The event, that is part of the Open Access Week 2024, will be of a hybrid nature, on site in Zurich (Eventspace Nüü, Lagerstrasse 45, 8004 Zurich) and online via Zoom. Do not miss the opportunity to participate and engage in the discussion!
