["Wermbter, Katja" <k.wermbter@tu-braunschweig.de>]

Dear colleagues and Open Access enthusiasts,

SeDOA (Servicestelle Diamond Open Access) is pleased to present its new online event series:

"This Is How We Do It - International Best Practices for Diamond Open Access" brings together global experts to go beyond theory and dive into the practical realities of Diamond Open Access.

International guests will share insights into Diamond Open Access activities and challenges at their institutions, as well as how these are embedded in broader national efforts.

 

We warmly invite anyone interested in Diamond Open Access to join us for an hour of new perspectives and engaging discussions with our guest speakers.
