This conference about Open Access in the Geosciences provides a platform for discussion about the current state, the issues we are facing, and potential pathways to go forward in the Open Access jungle.

Open Access in Geosciences

Open Access is not only a necessity for the funding of projects and publications, but also forms the foundation for science to be transparent, inclusive, and democratic. At this conference, promising initiatives by researchers in the geosciences will be highlighted, we will discuss which mechanisms in the OA landscape contribute to prevailing global inequalities, and we will explore how community-driven projects can improve access to publication opportunities and help the geosciences break free from existing dependencies.
