About

OPERAS is the European Research Infrastructure for the development of open scholarly communication in the social sciences and humanities (SSH). Its mission is to coordinate and federate resources in Europe to efficiently address the scholarly communication needs of European researchers in the field of SSH.

Join us for an insightful panel discussion hosted by OPERAS UK, exploring the open access landscape in the UK. During the session, we will discuss the following:

  • How can the OPERAS UK node most effectively engage with existing OA work in the UK?
  • In what ways can it collaborate with current groups and initiatives?
  • How might it build upon, support, or extend ongoing efforts?
  • Are there gaps in the current landscape that OPERAS UK could help to address?

Who should attend

  • Research services librarians
  • Scholarly comms librarians
  • Publishers
  • Professionals who support research and open access/open research/open science at their organisation
