The 2019 Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing (COASP) from the Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association (OASPA) will take place from 24 to 26 September at the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen, Denmark. For more than a decade, COASP has united the open access community to discuss developments and innovations. The conference serves to unite the stakeholders in the shared goal of enabling research around the world to be openly accessible.
The team from CCC is proud to return to COASP year after year as a Gold Sponsor. RightsLink Product Marketing Manager Casey Pickering says, “With scholarly communications in a time of massive transition, it is so important to hear from all involved stakeholders to learn about how the changing landscape affects their business. I am looking forward to hearing diverse stakeholder voices represented at COASP and learning more about the innovative work being done in Open Access.”
This year’s conference will debut a panel discussion between representatives of international funders on Tuesday, 24 September from 2:00 to 3:30 PM featuring Robert Kiley of Wellcome Trust, Rachel Bruce of UKRI, Ian Coltart of World Health Organization, and Alexander Kohls of CERN Scientific Information Service.
