OASPA’s annual conference is the only event that brings together the whole of the open access community, accelerating connection, discovery and new thinking. Join us at OASPA2025, September 22-24 at the Irish College Leuven, Belgium. 


This year, we tackle the big question: What will it take to reach 100% open access?

We are excited to announce additional speakers, sessions and poster lightning talks as we move to finalise our programme
