The bold ambition behind Plan S is to ensure that full open access to published research finally becomes a reality. Yet, what does it mean for the future of research? Join us for this international event at KU Leuven on 5th-6th November 2019, where our distinguished panels of experts will debate the prospects for researchers, universities, learned societies and academies.
The conference is free and open to all, and includes a welcome reception at the historic University Library on the evening before the conference.
See our flyer for further information and full programme below.
This event is a collaboration between the Young Academy of Europe, the Academia Europaea Cardiff Knowledge Hub, KU Leuven Libraries and Cardiff University. Further details and registration information may be found on Eventbrite.
