From: "Dr. Franck Vazquez | CSO | MDPI " <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2019 07:55:54 +0200 Dear all, The 1st Basel Sustainable Publishing Forum, organized by the University of Basel and the MDPI Sustainability Foundation, will take place on 9 September 2019. This 1st BSPF aims to provide background and perspective on Plan S to Learned Societies, to support them to fully understand what Plan S changes entail, and to help them make well-informed decisions to transition their journals to OA. It will bring together representatives of these societies to hear from them and understand the challenges that they are facing to transition/flip their journals. This event offers a unique opportunity to share with and learn from other societies, as well as from Plan S architects and various publishers and publishing platforms. We will hold open discussions with a broad range of stakeholders, to identify sustainable and scalable solutions for successful Open Access transition. Registration is open at: https://sciforum.net/conference/SustainableSolutionsToOpenAccess Sponsoring options are available on request. We hope you can join us for some interesting discussions.
