Barcamps

With our barcamps, we offer interested members of the Open Access community the opportunity to get into interaction with others, to network, and to learn from each other. In comparison to traditional conferences, the barcamp format is more open and does not have a predefined program. Instead, participants can propose topics or hold sessions themselves and thus discuss the issues that they are interested in. All topics related to Open Access are welcome.

The next Open Access Barcamp is expected to take place in spring 2025. You will be informed here as soon as the time and location have been finalised!
