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

Wed Nov 30 18:43:20 CET 2016

Other projects to consider as possible presenters:

John Willinsky's Cooperative project;  the Electrochemical Society, which is hoping to build an endowment for society-funded OA;  and Open Library of the Humanities.  I think finding a way to engage societies, through the above projects or more directly, would be valuable, although I have no specific suggestions for this beyond the ones enumerated above.

Dear Falk and Ivy,

thank you very much for this first feedback and your suggestions. I just want to confirm that such broader approach is already on our mind. That’s why we suggest to have 2 sessions on “Concepts of Transformation” so that we can accommodate also pathways beyond the big commercial publishers. We will get back to this when we discuss potential presenters. If you want to suggest names of individuals or initiatives, in addition to whom Falk already mentioned, please let us know.

Best wishes,
Ralf

Dear Ralf and All,

I would just like to join in support of Falk’s suggestion of a session on alternative initiatives – I think it would be good to give voice to these efforts as part of the overall transformational framework of OA2020.  I assume this is a recommendation for day 2 of the meeting.

I look forward to further discussions –

Best,

Ivy

Dear All,
I'm very happy to work with you on that very important initiative.

I find the proposed programme well thought out. But I have one suggestion:

For very good reasons, OA2020 concentrates on OA deals with publishers, esp. big publishers.  However, as an outlook, I suggest to reserve a small slot for an impulse presentation at the end of the conference for the following topic: „How to organise and fund Open Access publication models and services beyond big commercial providers“.
I think, for example, of ideas, reports or initiatives like Squaring Circles<http://cameronneylon.net/blog/squaring-circles-the-economics-and-governance-of-scholarly-infrastructures/> (Cameron Neylon), Putting down roots<http://knowledge-exchange.info/event/oa-dependencies> (Knowledge Exchange) or http://openaccessnetwork.org/

Best Falk

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

Dear members of the B13 Advisory Board,

first of all, we would like to thank everyone of you for your willingness to become a member of the Advisory Board of the Berlin 13 Open Access Conference. We are convinced that with your support the program of Berlin 13 will fulfill everybody’s expectations and the conference will turn out to be an informative and constructive exchange.

Attached to this email, please find a text description of B13 plus a draft program. At this point in time, we would like to discuss with you only the description, the structure and perhaps the time allocation of the conference. As we would like to put this up on the conference homepage, we would like to receive your feedback by December 7.

We do already have some speakers in mind; but, generally, we would like to discuss speakers, moderators and additional details as a next step. For this, we will again provide a basis for discussion.

As this advisory board is composed of people from a maximum variation of time zones we will try to avoid virtual meetings as much as we can. Ideally, we want to base our discussion on emails via this listserv plus perhaps a few individual or small group phone calls All in all, we don’t want to take too much of your time but still try to be inclusive and efficient. In any case, your ideas and suggestions are welcome at any time.

For your first review it may be helpful to have some additional background information:

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.

With best regards,
Ralf Schimmer

P.S.: I also re-circulate the member list of this Advisory Board – with Falk Reckling and Georg Botz as additional entries.
