Call for short presentations on open access publishing

OASPA is delighted to have UNESCO hosting the 6th Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing at their Paris Headquarters (http://www.unesco.org/new/en/unesco/about-us/) from 17-19 September 2014.  Program planning for the event is well underway. 

As in previous years, the conference is directed towards the interests of professional publishing organisations, independent publishers and university presses, as well as librarians, university administrators and other stakeholders. Participants will have the opportunity to hear from many leading figures within the open access publishing environment.
 
The Program Committee have decided to open up one of the sessions within the conference program as a Show & Tell opportunity for exciting new projects relating to open access publishing. Six slots are available and organisations are invited to submit a proposal to us for a 10 minute presentation showcasing their project.
 
All proposals should be submitted by 31 May 2014 at the latest to info@oaspa.org. The committee will review the suggestions and notify authors of the successful proposals by the end of June.
