Dear all, we would like to invite you to the following online event on May 7: 72nd Helmholtz Open Science Online Seminar Putting Publishing Back Into the Hands of the Scientific Community – Diamond Open Access at Helmholtz and Beyond Diamond open access refers to publishing models in which neither reading nor publishing fees are charged. Diamond open access also places the question of the autonomy of science in the spotlight: the aspiration and the goal that publishing and the publication outlets are in the hands of the scientific community. The Helmholtz Open Science Online Seminar „Putting Publishing Back Into the Hands of the Scientific Community – Diamond Open Access at Helmholtz and Beyond“ explores how science-led, open access journal publishing is practiced at Helmholtz and beyond: What does it take to publish a diamond open access journal? What are existing and emerging services and infrastructures on an institutional, national and international level? This event showcases concrete examples and current developments: the experience of an editor for a community-driven journal who is a Helmholtz researcher and scientific executive director, a scholar-led journal published at KIT, Germany's national service point for diamond open access (SeDOA) and the expansion of Open Research Europe as a European publishing platform soon to be hosted at CERN. Date/time: 7 May 2026, 10:00 CEST Format: Online event (Zoom) Language: English Details und registration: https://os.helmholtz.de/en/events/online-seminars/72-online-seminar/ Please feel free to share this event with other channels and anyone who might be interested.
