[Advisory] Draft program for the Berlin 13 Open Access Conference on 21/22 March 2017

[Jeffrey Mackie-Mason]

Hello all.  I'm glad to be part of this group.

On the discussion of sessions on alternative initiatives / small or society
journal models: Clearly there is a desire for some attention to this.  But
may I remind us all that the core OA2020 intention is to get the majority
of journal publishing to flip very soon (er, 2020)...and to do that, it is
essential that the large publishers flip.  And so I speak up for not
letting the program get *too* diluted from the core mission, or this risks
becoming merely Yet Another Open Access Conference.

Jeff

> In the context of Berlin 12 the idea was discussed to build up a network
> of national contact points for OA2020, similar to the NCP network of
> SCOAP³. Hereby an inspired network capable of acting shall emerge to
> coordinate, push and promote the necessary next steps for a successful
> transformation to Gold Open Access in the countries concerned. The
> cooperation in the NCP network shall support the regular exchange of
> experience and shall channel and facilitate mutual assistance.
>
> On this basis, our wish for Berlin 13 is the further strengthening of such
> a network integrating interested colleagues from as many countries as
> possible. We are aware that in most of the countries further steps are to
> be taken to obtain a somewhat ‘official’ mandate as NCP by the national
> science system. Especially for this reason we consider a close cooperation
> among the proponents and supporters of our emerging NCP network to be
> helpful and necessary.
>
> Berlin 13 offers a good opportunity for those who are interested in
> supporting OA2020 and volunteering as NCPs to get to know each other better
> and to improve the trust-based relationship. In order to give this the room
> it requires, we propose the first day of the conference to be restricted to
> the intended audience and to conclude the day with a joint dinner (plus
> perhaps a small social activity).
>
> The second day, on the other hand, will be organized as an open forum for
> everyone who is interested in OA2020, including e.g. non-science
> organizations, political representatives and publishers. The program for
> this day will begin with a status report on OA2020. Then various concepts
> of transformation will be presented and discussed, statements of
> representatives from several countries and organizations shall round up the
> program.
>
> At the end of day two, we plan to have a closed wrap-up session for one
> hour with a small working party of NCPs, which we hope to establish on day
> one. This working party could be the starting point of a broader governance
> structure that could emerge over time.
>
>
> Again, we are grateful for your support in preparing Berlin 13, and we
> look forward to your feedback on our program ideas.
