In this workshop, we would like to present the DIAMAS project and its initial results. The workshop would have at least three goals.
The workshop goals are:
- To present the new initiatives promoting diamond Open Access in the EU and in the world:
-
- the two EC-sponsored projects, DIAMAS and Craft-OA that aim to provide tools to align, promote, and make sustainable scholar-driven and institution-driven Open Access publishing;
- the Action Plan for Diamond Open Access which includes a global group of institutions with a declared interest in Diamond Open Access.
- To invite Hungarian and Eastern European institutional and Diamond Open Access editors and service providers to share their experience with us with a view to collaboration.
