The Open Access book movement has seen considerable development in recent years with real benefits for society such as increased access and usage across all disciplines and across disadvantaged countries and continents. However, providing Open Access to books remains a challenge. So, what do we need to do as a community to address these challenges and provide access to all? Come along and ask the experts!

Join us for a lively panel discussion which will focus on Open Access publishing and long form output types. During the session, we will hear from expert speakers who will discuss the traditional side of academic publishing in the scholarly monograph/book space and how this has evolved into a need for Open Access to fulfil the needs of the global research community and the public at large.
