SUMMARY:18th BERLIN OPEN ACCESS CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:18th BERLIN OPEN ACCESS CONFERENCE\nRESETTING THE TERMS OF SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING \n15–17 September 2026\, Harnack House\, Berlin\, Germany \n\nAfter a decade of open access agreements\, the focus is extending beyond execution to what scholarly publishing is expected to deliver and how to shape system-level outcomes. \nThe 18th Berlin Open Access Conference (B18) will convene senior leaders from research institutions\, library consortia\, and funding bodies alongside major publishers to address a central question: What must change now to realign scholarly publishing with the interests of the research community? \nBuilding on years of negotiating and implementing open publishing agreements\, B18 will move beyond incremental progress to focus on: \n\nAccountability and transparency – assessing pricing and performance against stated commitments\, using shared data\nAI and publishing models – implications for cost\, licensing\, and control of scholarly content\nThe evolution of open access agreements – clarifying the value of publishing services and aligning costs with that value\nScalable alternatives and coordinated investment – advancing collective approaches to open publishing\nPublishing ethics\, research integrity and trust – reinforcing expectations for quality and transparency across the system\n\nThe conference will combine direct engagement with publishers and closed strategic coordination among negotiators\, with the aim of strengthening alignment and advancing system-level change. \nB18 is a targeted\, invitation-based meeting focused on those shaping agreements and policy. Participation is limited to ensure productive exchange at the highest level and broad geographic representation across the OA Forward community. Further updates will be published on this page.
