The OASPA 2026 annual conference will take place at Hotel Dubrovnik, Zagreb in Croatia from 21 – 23 September 2026.

The programme will tackle today’s most pressing challenges in open scholarly communication with a focus on interactivity and interchange. Selected lightning talks will spark connections and new ideas. Meanwhile, panels and keynotes will discuss and invite your questions on:

      • https://www.tickettailor.com/events/oaspa/2037058The importance of open knowledge in society;
      • The meaning(s) of sustainability in open access;
      • The value of interoperable open infrastructure;
      • The feasibility of algorithmic governance in the age of artificial intelligence;
      • The re-centering of trust and reciprocity in open scholarly communications;
      • How OA agreements evolve into next generation collaborations based on shared values.

The programme will also encourage sharing of views about reforming research(er) evaluation and the future of open research. And our interactive conference closing session will synthesise reflections from all three days and seek your inputs to feed into a post-conference working group for principles, practices and partnerships that build a more open, usable and reliable scholarly record.

Join us this September in Croatia to exchange thoughts with a global network of experts and peers, and to help us shape the future of open access.
