Navigating Academic Publishing: Beyond the Dutch Contract with Elsevier

UNL, NFU, and NWO are thrilled to announce a one-day conference titled "What Do We Want (or Not Want) from Publishers? Looking Beyond the Current Dutch Contract with Elsevier," scheduled for Thursday, April 18, 2024, at the Domstad Conference Centre in Utrecht.

The conference's focus extends beyond the current Dutch contract with Elsevier to explore broader themes. It will delve into the successes and challenges of Read and Publish deals, collaboration with publishers in research information dissemination, and the implications of concepts like 'digital sovereignty' in relationships with commercial publishers. The event aims to provide an open forum to discuss the academic sector's expectations from the publishing industry in upholding academic values within a just, equitable, and open scholarly communication landscape.
