Event Description

For the past 10 years, the Open Access movement has been defending the principle of free accessibility to the scientific literature for everyone.

Who are the Open Access’s actors ?
Which are the economic models and their stakes ?
Why publish in Open Access ?
How do institutions pay for publication in Open Access ?

Those questions will be addressed from various points of view (publishers, academic institutions, investors and authors) through conferences.
