Speaker
Description
Europe has a long-standing commitment to the development of open monographs. In the continent many initiatives, platforms and projects have been blossoming in the last decade. More recent is the shared feeling across the academic community that the many separate efforts need to be coordinated in some way. That's why the topic highlighted during the OPERAS conference last year in Athens was the "coordination challenge". Following the conference, but also the near end of the HIRMEOS project and the recent publication of the Knowledge Exchange report, a number of OPERAS members and partners are preparing the creation of a European network to provide to the community the kind of coordination needed for the open access monograph. The presentation will give information on the different topics the network aims to address.
