Call for poster lightning talk proposals for OASPA 2025: Embracing the Complexity - how do we get to 100% OA?

OASPA’s annual conference is the only event that brings together the whole of the open access community, accelerating connection, discovery and new thinking. Our 2025 conference will focus on the complexities we know we face in asking how we achieve a future with 100% open access. Further information about the conference theme can be found at https://www.oaspa.org/events/annualconference/ and you can register for the conference here. A preliminary programme will be available in the next few weeks.


We now invite organisations and individuals to submit a proposal to us for ‘Poster Lightning Talk’ presentations. These are short 5 minute talks showcasing new projects, ideas or initiatives accompanied by a poster which will be available during breaks for conversations with presenters. (Guidelines will be provided). 

We particularly welcome submissions from beyond North America and Europe. Please share this call widely within your networks.

All proposals should be submitted by April 16, 2025 via this form which asks for a brief description (up to a strict maximum count of 250 words) of your proposal. 

We look forward to receiving your suggestions!

Best wishes,
Bernie
